Declare Ready

Famous quotes containing the words declare and/or ready:

“So in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation blithely to declare yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

“To be made to hold his tongue is the greatest insult you can offer him—though he might be ready with a poker to make you hold yours.”
—Mrs. Patrick Campbell (1865–1940)
