Some Quotes for Today

Whittaker Chambers
A man is not primarily a witness against something. That is only incidental to the fact that he is a witness for something.

Whittaker Chambers

Ronald Reagan
At the root of everything that we're trying to accomplish is the belief that America has a mission. We are a nation of freedom, living under God, believing all citizens must have the opportunity to grow, create wealth, and build a better life for those who follow. If we live up to those moral values, we can keep the American dream alive for our children and our grandchildren, and America will remain mankind's best hope. 
Ronald Reagan

O, Fortuna - Steven Hayward
If we take the widest and wisest view of a Cause, there is no such thing as a Lost Cause because there is no such thing as a Gained Cause. We fight for lost causes because we know that our defeat and dismay may be the preface to our successors’ victory, though that victory itself will be temporary; we fight rather to keep something alive than in the expectation that anything will triumph.

T.S. Eliot

Perseverance

Heard on The Dave Ramsey Show:
"Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance."
Samuel Johnson
Another one I like:
“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.”
Newt Gingrich
And where would we be without Churchill?
“Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential”
Winston Churchill
