Mircea Eliade

John S. Hall

The destiny of the woman must be shaped to a large extent on her own conception of her spiritual imperative and her place in society.

I can't control my own income, I can't control my own destiny, I can't even control my own farm if I'm a farmer. This is not going to last.

Glenn Beck

Well, the task I've set forth will long outlive our own generation. But together, we too have come through the worst. Let us now begin a major effort to secure the best- a crusade for freedom that will engage the faith and fortitude of the next generation. For the sake of peace and justice, let us move toward a world in which all people are at last free to determine their own destiny.

Ronald Reagan
