Many times I write in my journal and this blog with my sons in mind as my audience (see: Who is this for?). The political climate right now is depressing. There are few politicians leading this country today who I could point to as examples for personal character. Donald Trump, the President of the United States, seems to be completely void of character and integrity.

But I was reminded of a quote I heard years ago:

You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
