(H/T to the boss for loaning me her copy of “Ronald Reagan: Rendezvous with Destiny.”  Some words from The Gipper, apropos with some of the upcoming battles we have…)

“This is our challenge, and this is why here in this hall tonight, better than we’ve ever done before, we have to quit talking to each other and about each other, and go out and communicate to the world that we might be fewer in numbers than we’ve ever been, but we carry the message they are waiting for. We must go forth from here united, determined, that what a great general said a few years ago is true, ‘There is no substitute for victory.’
