Portal:Indiana/Selected quote/10

I come from teachers. My great, great grandfather Christopher Bayh came to Indiana with a yellow tag in his overalls that said, railroad. Because he couldn't speak any English, that's where he went to work. But his first grandson became a teacher and he married a teacher, my grandmother. No one here tonight would have traveled half as far if it weren't for our teachers. They're the real American heroes.

— Evan Bayh, 1996 Democratic Convention Keynote Speech

Cover of c. 1898 sheet music issue of Paul Dresser's song On The Banks Of The Wabash, Far Away"

Oh, the moonlight's fair tonight along the Wabash,
From the fields there comes the breath of newmown hay.
Through the sycamores the candle lights are gleaming,
On the banks of the Wabash, far away.

— Paul Dresser, beginning chorus of On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away
