Courage

"If we tamely give up our rights in this contest, a century to come will not restore us in the opinion of the world; we shall be stamped with the character of poltroons and fools and be despised and trampled upon, not by this haughty, insolent nation but by all mankind." — Ben Franklin

"This is liberty: to know that God alone matters." — Donald Haukey

"The modern controversy over human rights calls urgently for a theological recovery of the metaphysical foundations of these rights.

"Evil comes from the abuse of free will." — C. S. Lewis

"Much has been said about my management style, a style that's worked successfully for me during eight years as governor of California and for most of my presidency.

They seem to rise to their full capacity, and in the long run you get more done." - Ronald Reagan, 1987

"I don't believe a chief executive should supervise every detail of what goes on in his organization. The chief executive should set broad policy and general ground rules, tell people what he or she wants them to do, then let them do it; he should make himself (or herself) available, so that the members of his team can come to him if there is a problem. If there is, you can work together and, if necessary, fine-tune the policies. But I don't think a chief executive should peer constantly over the shoulders of the people who are in charge of a project and tell them every few minutes what to do," - Ronald Reagan
