War Order Giving

More From Ronald Reagan

Evil itself may be relentless. i will grant you that, but love is relentless too. friendship is a relentless force. family is a relentless force. faith is relentless force. the human spirit is relentless, and the human heart outlasts - and can defeat - even the most relentless force of all, which is time.

Our goals are the same as those of the u.n.'s founders, who sought to replace a world at war with one where the rule of law would prevail, where human rights were honored, where development would blossom, where conflict would give way to freedom from violence.

We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

What first truly stirred my soul was not fear or pain, nor was it pleasure or games; it was the yearning for freedom. i had to gain freedom-but from what, from whom? little by little, in the course of time, i mounted freedom's rough unaccommodating ascent. to gain freedom first of all from the turk, that was the initial step; after that, later, this new struggle began: to gain freedom from the inner turk-from ignorance, malice and envy, from fear and laziness, from dazzling false ideas; and finally from idols, all of them, even the most revered and beloved.

There are many who criticise the united nations. and those of us who know this institution well know that it is not immune from criticism. but those who argue against the united nations advance no credible argument as to what should replace it. whatever its imperfections, the united nations represents a necessary democracy of states.

The founders of the united nations expected that member nations would behave and vote as individuals after they had weighed the merits of an issue - rather like a great, global town meeting. the emergence of blocks and the polarization of the united nations undermine all that this organization initially valued.

I wrote to find beauty and purpose, to know that love is possible and lasting and real, to see day lilies and swimming pools, loyalty and devotion, even though my eyes were closed, and all that surrounded me was a darkened room. i wrote because that was who i was at the core, and if i was too damaged to walk around the block, i was lucky all the same. once i got to my desk, once i started writing, i still believed anything was possible.

Rock 'n' roll doesn't glorify god. you can't drink out of god's cup and the devil's cup at the same time. i was one of the pioneers of that music, one of the builders. i know what the blocks are made of because i built them.

Writer's block is a myth. i never see the gardeners suffering from gardening block.

I never thought i'd get to see rome," hazel said. "when i was alive, i mean for the first time, mussolini was in charge. we were at war." "mussolini?" leo frowned. "wasn't he like bff's with hitler?" hazel stared at him like he was an alien. "bff's?" "never mind." "i'd love to see the trevi fountain," she said. "there's a fountain on every block," leo grumbled. "or the spanish steps," hazel said. "why would you come to italy to see spanosh steps?" leo asked. "that's like going to china for mexican food, isn't it?" "you're hopeless," hazel complained.
