America and the World
-
Democracy cannot succeed
unless those who express their
choice are prepared to choose wisely.
The real safeguard of democracy is education.
Franklin D. Roosevelt -
Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than
one generation away from extinction.
It is not ours by inheritance;
it must be fought for and defended constantly
by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.
Ronald Reagan -
There is consolation in the thought that America is young.
Great streams are not easily turned from channels,
worn deep in the course of ages.
They may sometimes rise in quiet and stately majesty,
and inundate the land, refreshing and fertilizing the earth
with their mysterious properties.
Frederick Douglass -
Study history, study history.
In history lies all the secrets of statecraft.
The farther backward you can look,
the farther forward you can see.
Winston Churchill -
We choose to go to the moon in this decade
and do the other things, not because they are easy,
but because they are hard, because that goal will
serve to organize and measure the
best of our energies and skills…
John F. Kennedy
