“You hang an ape and a political ancestry over me, and you will see me taking it into the Supreme Court, to prove that the ape part is O.K., but that the political end of it is base libel.” —Will Rogers

“Nothing is so insufferable to man as to be completely at rest, without passions, without business, without diversion, without study.

THE GIPPER

“From a terrible war we learned that unity made us invincible;… that same unity makes us secure. We sought to bring all freedom-loving nations together in a community dedicated to the defense and preservation of our sacred values. Our alliance, forged in the crucible of war, tempered and shaped by the realities of the post-war world, has succeeded… We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free.” —Ronald Reagan
