President Obama promises help for Haiti

"The losses that have been suffered in Haiti are nothing less than devastating, and responding to a disaster of this magnitude will require every element of our national capacity," Mr. Obama added. "For the sake of our citizens who are in Haiti, for the sake of the Haitian people who have suffered so much, and for the sake of our common humanity, we stand in solidarity with our neighbors to the south, knowing that but for the grace of God there we go."

The late James B. Simpson’s passion was collecting the words of others. He left his career as a journalist to become an Episcopal priest, but he retained a strong appreciation for journalism.

The Rev. Simpson published several volumes of quotation books under the name of Simpson’s Contemporary Quotations. His work continues to be a trusted and recognized favorite among journalists, scholars, academics and quote enthusiasts.

This site, sponsored by the School of Communication at American University, is designed to carry on Simpson's mission of making accessible the current quotes of our time. AU is the home of the James B. Simpson Research Room and James B. Simpson Fellowship, now held by Dr. Danna Walker.
