How Do You Spell Class? Hillary

When my father encountered someone he deemed to be ignorant he described them as NCAA “no class at all.” I share this with you tonight because I witnessed the best display of quintessential “class” I have seen in quite sometime and that came from Hillary Rodham Clinton. Regardless of your political affiliation I think you would be hard pressed to deny that someone’s true character sometimes comes in the face of defeat and Hillary was triumphant in her effort to unite the Democratic Party in her speech which endorsed Barack Obama. Keith Olbermann so eloquently put it best, “Grand Slam, she hit it out of the park, across the street, over many buildings.” http://www.msnbc.com/

What Is Class?
Class never runs away. It is sure footed and confident in the knowledge that you can meet life head on and handle whatever comes along.

Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes. Class is considerate of others. It knows that good manners are the right sacrifices to make. Class has nothing to do with ancestors, money or titles. You have heard money can’t buy class. The most affluent blue blood can be without class while the descendant of a Welsh miner may ooze class from every pore.

Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class can walk with kings and keep his virtue, and talk with crowds and keep the human touch. Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because they are comfortable with themselves.

If you have Class, you don’t need much of anything else.
If you don’t, no matter what else you have- it doesn’t make much difference.

Because this is my blog I get to be corny if I want to so I will end with my favorite quote that describes amazing women and say that Hillary makes me proud to be a woman.

If by strength is meant moral power,

then woman is immeasurably man's superior.

Has she not greater intuition? Is she not more self-sacrificing?

Has she not greater powers of endurance?

Has she not greater courage?

Without her man could not be.

If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman.
