"We've been blessed with the opportunity to stand for something — for liberty and freedom and fairness. And these are things worth fighting for, worth devoting our lives to. And we have good reason to be hopeful and optimistic. We've made much progress already. So, let us go forth with good cheer and stout hearts — happy warriors out to seize back a country and a world to freedom."

Ronald Reagan, 40th USA President
