From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2012-10-30:
"The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life -- the sick, the needy and the handicapped." -- Hubert Horatio Humphrey, U.S. Vice President (1911-1978).
