“Civility entails speaking directly, passionately, and responsibly about who we are and what we believe. Divisions based on principles are healthy for the community. Vigorous and passionate debate helps us to define issues and to sharpen positions.
Conflict cannot, should not be avoided in our public lives any more than we can avoid conflict with the people we love.  But just as members of a household or family learn ways of settling their differences without inflicting real damage on each other, so we, in our politics, must find constructive ways of resolving disputes and differences.”​

-Honorable Ambassador Lyndon Olson.
