“By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon. And it will be American. I am sick of being told we have to be timid and I’m sick of being told we have to be limited to technologies that are fifty years old. I was attacked the other night for being grandiose. I would just want you to note: Lincoln standing at Council Bluffs was grandiose. The Wright Brothers standing at Kitty Hawk were grandiose. John F. Kennedy was grandiose. I accept the charge that I am grandiose and that Americans are instinctively grandiose.” ~ Newt Gingrich, Republican presidential candidate

"Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace! Where there is hatred let me sow Love; Where there is injury, Pardon; Where there is doubt, Faith; Where there is despair, HOPE; Where there is darkness, Light; Where there is sadness, Joy." ~ St. Francis of Assisi prayer
