"What is important is that one strives..." - Quote by Ronald Reagan

“I told you once that [our marriage] was like an adolescent's dream of what marriage should be like. That hasn't changed.”

“Our goal is peace. We can gain that peace by strengthening our alliances, by speaking candidly about the dangers before us, by assuring potential adversaries of our seriousness, by actively pursuing every chance of honest and fruitful negotiation.”

“Facts are stupid things — stubborn things, I should say.”

“With goals you can create the future in advance.”

“When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat.”

“Look forward to where you want to be and spend no time complaining about where you are.”

“Greatness is never free; it must be earned.”

“First we become the best, then we'll become first.”

“Often we are caught in a mental trap of seeing enormously successful people and thinking they are where they are because they have some special gift. Yet a closer look shows that the greatest gift that extraordinarily successful people have over the average person is their ability to get themselves to take action.”
