In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Lincoln Memorial, August 28th, 1963

We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.

Farewell Address, 1961

Freedom is the recognition that no single person, no single authority or government has a monopoly on the truth, but that every individual life is infinitely precious, that every one of us put on this earth has been put here for a reason and has something to offer.

Ronald Reagan

For voters, Mr Schwarzenegger is running literally as a strong man - a pre-verbal, pre-Guttenberg candidate whose only claim to lead is the charisma of his physical prowess. He is probably intelligent enough to seek the governor's office by making his points in debate, but has decided not to bother. He and his handlers reckon we are entering an age in which non-rational appeals reach voters more effectively than rational arguments. On election day, they stand a good chance of being proved right.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the success of liberty. This much we pledge - and more.

John F. Kennedy
Inaugural Address, 1961
