In my view, a right of parents to direct the upbringing of their children is among the 'unalienable Rights' with which the Declaration of Independence proclaims 'all Men . . . are endowed by their Creator.'." Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
On parental rights: Troxel v. Granville (2000) (dissenting).

"In my humble opinion, those who come to engage in debates of consequence, and who challenge accepted wisdom, should expect to be treated badly.
Nonetheless, they must stand undaunted. That is required. And, that should be expected.
For, it is bravery that is required to secure freedom."Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas

"Individuals who have been wronged by unlawful racial discrimination should be made whole;
but under our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race.
That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual.
...To pursue the concept of racial entitlement - even for the most admirable and benign of purposes
- is to reinforce and preserve for future mischief the way of thinking
that produced race slavery, race privilege and race hatred.
In the eyes of government, we are just one race here.
It is American.”Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Mineta, 534 U.S. 103 (1995) (concurring).

"It is time for us to realize that we're too great a nation to limit
ourselves to small dreams. We're not, as some would have us believe,
doomed to an inevitable decline.
I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do.
I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing.
So, with all the creative energy at our command,
let us begin an era of national renewal.
Let us renew our determination, our courage, and our strength.
And let us renew our faith and our hope. We have every right to dream heroic dreams.
Those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes,
they just don't know where to look."Ronald Reagan
