"Glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. Glory belongs to the act of being
constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles, to the
people on whom you rely and who rely on you in return." - John McCain

"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." - Ronald Reagan

"I am an individual who has come from humble roots and have been brought up on the
principles of working hard and being rewarded for it. I believe that the government's
job is most importantly to protect the people from foreign threats and not to regulate
the lives of its citizens."
