William Wilberforce
“We are too young to realize that certain things are impossible... So we will do them anyway.”
William Wilberforce

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“When people speak of great men, they think of men like Napoleon - men of violence. Rarely do they think of peaceful men. But contrast the reception they will receive when they return home from their battles. Napoleon will arrive in pomp and in power, a man who's achieved the very summit of earthly ambition. And yet his dreams will be haunted by the oppressions of war. William Wilberforce, however, will return to his family, lay his head on his pillow and remember: the slave trade is no more.”
Charles Fox

Ronald Reagan
“Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.”
Ronald Reagan

James Fenimore Cooper
“History, like love, is so apt to surround her heroes with an atmosphere of imaginary brightness.”
James Fenimore Cooper, The Last of the Mohicans
