    Politics is just like show business, you have a hell of an opening, coast for a while and then have a hell of a close.
    Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    If all political power be derived only from Adam, and be to descend only to his successive heirs, by the ordinance of God and divine institution, this is a right antecedent and paramount to all government; and therefore the positive laws of men cannot determine that, which is itself the foundation of all law and government, and is to receive its rule only from the law of God and nature.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The battle for the mind of Ronald Reagan was like the trench warfare of World War I: never have so many fought so hard for such barren terrain.
    Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
