具体描述
<blockquote>"This is a book about that most admirable of human virtues-- courage. 'Grace under pressure,' Ernest Hemingway defined it. And these are the stories of the pressures experienced by eight United States Senators and the grace with which they endured them."
-- John F. Kennedy</p></blockquote>
During 1954-1955, John F. Kennedy, then a U.S. Senator, chose eight of his historical colleagues to profile for their acts of astounding integrity in the face of overwhelming opposition. These heroes include John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, and Robert A. Taft.</p>
Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1957, Profiles in Courage -- now reissued in this handsome hardcover edition, featuring a new introduction by Caroline Kennedy, as well as Robert Kennedy's foreword written for the memorial edition of the volume in 1964 -- resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of virtues and is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit. It is as Robert Kennedy states in the foreword, "not just stories of the past but a hook of hope and confidence for the future. What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us."</p>

评分“不要问你的国家能为你做些什么，而要问一下你能为你的国家做些什么”，1961年，时任美国第三十五任总统的肯尼迪在就职演说中这样说道。 多年后的今天，当我们再次诵读这脍炙人口的语句时仍能感到满满的正能量。这句话在给肯尼迪的三年总统任期奠定了基调的同时，也给《信仰...

评分信仰对一个人来讲是至关重要的，甚至至关重要都不能确准的表达信仰对一个人的巨大影响，要知道人的内核是精神、是思想、是理念、是价值，这些其实都在信仰中得到体现。在我看来人本身归根到底就是意识和思想的集中，倘若没有了这些人也就不能称之为人了。 《信仰在风中飘扬》...
