“Of our political revolution of '76, we all are justly proud. It has given us a degree of political freedom, far exceeding that of any other nation of the earth. In it the world has found a solution of the long mooted problem, as to the capability of man to govern himself. In it was the germ which has vegetated, and still is to grow and expand into the universal liberty of mankind.” MenWorldLongStillsProblemEarthPoliticalFoundGivenNationsGrowsLibertyMankindRevolutionProudDegreesSolutionsUniversalCapabilityGermsPolitical FreedomPolitical Revolution Book:Lincoln Speeches Source: Lincoln Speeches
“It is a wonderful advantage to a man, in every pursuite or avocation, to secure an adviser in a sensible woman. In woman there is at once a subtle delicacy of tact, and a plain soundness of judgement, which are rarely combined to an equal degree in man. A woman, if she be really your friend, will have a sensitive regard for your character, honor, repute. She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing: for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.” IfsMenCharacterDesireFriendshipWonderfulProudHonorEqualDegreesAdvantageRegardSecureSensitiveJudgementSubtleSensibleBe ProudDelicacyAdviserTactProud Of YouShabbySoundness Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
“We have to make sure that college is accessible and affordable. Two years ago, I stood here and called upon our institutions of higher learning to develop plans for degrees that cost no more than $10,000. There were plenty of detractors at that time who insisted it couldn't be done. However, that call inspired educators at colleges and universities across our state to step up to the plate. Today, I'm proud to tell you that thirteen Texas universities have announced plans for a $10,000 degree.” YearsTwoStatesDoneTodayEducationStepsPlansCollegeProudHigherCostDegreesYears AgoInstitutionsInspiredUniversityPlentyTwo YearsTexasPlatesAffordableEducatorStep UpThirteenTwo Years AgoColleges And UniversitiesHigher Learning Author:Rick Perry

“I am very proud of our Supreme Court - it is one of the best worldwide. Nevertheless, since the 1990s, we have seen a certain imbalance in the relationship between the judiciary, the parliament and the government. The Supreme Court behaved in an activist way. We have to debate the degree to which such Supreme Court activism is appropriate.” WayGovernmentCertainProudDegreesCourtActivismDebateSupremeAppropriateActivistNeverthelessSupreme CourtParliamentJudiciaryImbalance Author:Ayelet Shaked
“No one can believe I might have a brain. Because I'm really tall, I'm really blonde, I have big muscles, and kill people for a living. There you go. If anybody's going to be assumed to be stupid, it's me. I don't know what my IQ score is, but I did study for five years at college. And I'm proud of my chemical engineering degree. I haven't done anything with it, but it's a card up your sleeve for later in life.
