Status quo, you know, is Latin for 'the mess we're in'. - Ronald Reagan

"I've heard that hard work never killed anyone, but I say why take the chance?"

"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."

"I have left orders to be awakened at any time during national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting."

"Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book."

"We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone."
