this one always makes me really sad.

Last Christmas, as a surprise for Ethel, the older children composed letters about their father. Wrote David, 13: "Daddy was very funny in church because he would embaress all of us by singing very loud. Daddy did not have a very good voice. There will be no more football with Daddy, no more swimming with him, no more riding and no more camping with him. But he was the best father their ever was and I would rather have him for a father the length of time I did than any other father for a million years."

this does 2 but not as much as the first

Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot."...There'll never be another Camelot again...

  1. This one quoted in the Tom Hanks Movie, Saving Private Ryan.  Gets me every time.

    Attributed to Abraham Lincoln in letter to the mother who lost all her son's in the Civil War.

    ""I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume VIII, "Letter to Mrs. Lydia Bixby" (November 21, 1864)


  2. When JFK said "Ich bin ein Berliner", I laughed till I cried.  

    Some of you may not know that he was attempting to say he was a person of Berlin, but through a minor grammatical error, he claimed to be a jelly donut.

  3. Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.

    JFK:

    The irony of this quote always gets to me.

    He gave his life for our country.

    I always remember how they shot him down like a dog.
