"O Lord, revive thy work." The ground of necessity for such a prayer is, that men are wholly indisposed to obey; and unless God interpose the influence of his Spirit, not a man on earth will ever obey the commands of God.
“Many around the world took notice, George Shultz later reflected, with just small exaggeration, that firing the PATCO strikers 'was the most important foreign policy decision Ronald Reagan ever made.”

“And if we take it seriously, we are going to find that this simple notion of a loving God does not make for an easy philosophy.”

“Fortunately, Marhsall found an eager audience in fellow intellectual Ikle, who recognized at once that ONA's analysis and prescriptions for the Cold War reinforced Reagan's intuitions. Together Ikle and Marshall pressed the military services to build budget plans around 'exploiting opportunities to impose disproportionate costs on the USSE over the long term.' This was Marshall's concept of 'Competitive strategies', which 'depended on identifying areas of comparative US advantage and using them to exploit areas of comparative Soviet weakness or disadvantage.”

“People do not make wars; governments do. And no mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology. A people free to choose will always choose peace. Americans seek always to make friends of old antagonists. After a colonial revolution with Britain, we have cemented for all ages the ties of kinship between our nations... We fought two world wars in my lifetime against Germany and one with Japan, but now the Federal Republic of Germany and Japan are two of our closest allies and friends.”

“We're (President Ronald Reagan and Jack Reed)... talking about the Cold War and why we need to end it and how, [and Reagan] recited key words from Whittaker Chambers' letter to his children in Witness. And he was really focused on the lines about why did Chambers quit being a Communist and why his friends quit being Communists. And his friend put the word that's in Chambers' book because they heard the screams. And Reagan and I recited to each other that Communism has wonderful ideals, but to make it work you need terror, and that leads to the screams of people in the prisons, political prisoners on the trains headed off into Siberia.”
