COURAGE
AUTHOR: Barack Obama,
QUOTATION: "I
will never forget that the only reason I'm standing here
today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when
it was risky. Stood up when it was hard. Stood up when
it wasn't popular. And because that somebody stood up,
a few more stood up. And then a few thousand stood up.
And then a few million stood up. And standing up, with
courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change
the world."

.........................................
AUTHOR: Andrew Simms
QUOTATION: "Almost everything scientists
are trying to achieve by genetically modifying crops
can be achieved in other less risky ways. Whether the problem is pest or
weed control, drought tolerance,
yield or nutrition, there are countless, though poorly supported, farming
methods that could be used before
needing to open pandora's box of genetic tricks.
GM advocates seem only to have discovered the cause of poverty eradication
now that they have something to sell."

WOMEN
AUTHOR: Barack Obama

WAR
AUTHOR: Barack Obama
QUOTATION: ""The war does not
end when you come home. It lives on in memories of your fellow
soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who gave their lives. It
endures in the wound that is slow to heal, the disability that
isn’t going away, the dream that wakes you at night, or
the stiffening in your spine when a car backfires down the street.
