We stand with New York and the entire nation in remembering and honoring the 2,977 lives lost 25 years ago on September 11, 2001.
Here are a few quotes we find particularly moving about that day, as we remember:
"If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short, and there is no time for hate.” —Sandy Dahl, wife of Flight 93 pilot Jason Dahl
“When Americans lend a hand to one another, nothing is impossible. We’re not about what happened on 9/11. We’re about what happened on 9/12.” — Jeff Parness
“September 11 is one of our worst days but it brought out the best in us. It unified us as a country and showed our charitable instincts and reminded us of what we stood for and stand for.” — Lamar Alexander
“What separates us from the animals, what separates us from the chaos, is our ability to mourn people we’ve never met.” — David Levithan
“The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom.” — Rudy Giuliani
