I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. -Ronald Reagan<\/li>\n<li>We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon. -Jimmy Carter<\/li>\n<li>History, in general, only informs us what bad government is. -Thomas Jefferson<\/li>\n<li>Think about every problem, every challenge, we face. The solution to each starts with education. -George H.W. Bush<\/li>\n<li>The lesson of history is rarely learned by the actors themselves. -James A. Garfield<\/li>\n<li>Order without liberty and liberty without order are equally destructive. -Theodore Roosevelt<\/li>\n<li>Older men declare war.
