Ronald Reagan
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
Sir Winston Churchill
It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required.
Sir Winston Churchill
I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Helen Keller
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Mark Twain
Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
Eleanor Roosevelt
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Virtually anything by CS Lewis, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mark Twain is memorable, but here are a few of my favorites.
Mark Twain
"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed in the things you did not do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
"Humor is mankind's greatest blessing."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature."
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
CS Lewis
"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."
"Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities."
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: 'What! You, too? Thought I was the only one.'"
