So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unrea­son­ing, unjus­ti­fied ter­ror which par­a­lyzes needed efforts to con­vert retreat into advance.

—FDR Inau­gural Address

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the land­ing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…

—Win­ston Churchill

This sucker could go down.

—George Bush
