Quotes of Presidents

“We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause.”  Ronald Reagan

"Quakers introduced the concept of the first American prison in Pennsylvania... It was established in Philadelphia when the Walnut Street Jail was converted into a series of solitary cells where offenders were kept in solitary confinement with only a Bible as their companion.  The theory was that they would become 'penitents,' confessing their crimes before God and thereby gaining a spiritual rehabilitation. Hence, the name penitentiary-  a place for penitents."  Charles Colson
