“Choose to be entrepreneur because then YOU create value. Choose to be an entrepreneur because the products, services, and jobs you create then become the lifeblood of our nation.

“Optimism is a tonic. Pessimism is poison. Admittedly, every businessman must be realistic. He must gather facts, analyze them candidly and strive to draw logical conclusions, whether favorable or unfavorable. He must not engage in self-delusion. He must not view everything through rose-colored glasses. Granting this, the incontestable truth is that America has been built up by optimists, not by pessimists, but by men possessing courage, confidence in the nation's destiny, by men willing to adventure to shoulder risks terrifying to the timid.” MenHas BeensSelfFactsAmericaPoliticalPoliticsNationsViewsDestinyRiskWillingAdventureTruth IsDrawsBuiltOptimismRoseStriveGlassesShouldersConclusionPoisonDelusionLogicalPessimismRealisticBusinessmanOptimistPessimistPossessingSelf DelusionColored GlassRose Colored Glasses Author:B.

“We are not a warlike people. Nor is our history filled with tales of aggressive adventures and imperialism, which might come as a shock to some of the placard painters in our modern demonstrations. The lesson of Vietnam, I think, should be that never again will young Americans be asked to fight and possibly die for a cause unless that cause is so meaningful that we, as a nation, pledge our full resources to achieve victory as quickly as possible.” PeopleThinkingShouldMightYoungDiesFightingNationsCausesModernAchieveAdventureVictoryLessonsResourcesFilledMeaningfulTalesPainterShockAggressiveVietnamImperialismDemonstrationPledge Author:Ronald Reagan

“A time comes when silence is betrayal. That time has come for us in relation to Vietnam. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift, is approaching spiritual death.I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube.
