Deputy White House Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller to national guard troops in Washington D.C:

All of civilization can be finally divided into two groups of people: builders and destroyers.

The people who serve, who sacrifice, who give, who care for others, who protect others, and those who only destroy, who litter, who rob, who graffiti, who deface, who degrade.

Civilization only exists because of people like you.
