Ronald Reagan
"There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect."

"If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you."
Voltaire
"Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare The truth thou hast, that all may share; Be bold, proclaim it everywhere: They only live who dare."
