“What we obtain for too cheap a price, we esteem too lightly.”

Thomas Paine

“America is great because America is good. And if America ever ceases to be good, it will cease to be great.”

French Philosopher, Alexis De Tocqueville 1840

“I regret i have but one life to lose for my country.”

Nathan Hale, just before he was hanged by the British army

“Duty, honor, country. These three hallowed words reverently dictate what a soldier ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are the soldier’s rallying post to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when all hope is gone. Duty…honor…country.”

General Douglas MacArthur

“Many men fail because they quit too soon. They lose faith when the signs are against them. They do not have the courage to hold on, to keep fighting in spite of that which seems insurmountable. If more of us would strike out and attempt the impossible, we very soon would find the truth of that old saying – nothing is impossible”.

Doctor C.E. Welch, Founder of Welch's Grape Juice

“Never let yourself be persuaded that any one great man, any one leader, is necessary to the salvation of America; when America consists of one leader and 250 million followers, it will no longer be America.”

President Dwight Eisenhower

“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation. For tis better to be alone than in bad company.”

George Washington (Written as a Boy)

“The spirit of this city and this nation will not be defeated because our deeply rooted faith will sustain us”.

Plaque at the Oklahoma City Bomb Site

“Son, remember that God is your only sure trust.”

George Washington’s Mother

“You cannot lift your children to a higher level than that on which you live yourself.”

Author Unknown

“The philosophy of our school room in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next.”

Abraham Lincoln
