Who I'd Like to Meet

-Ronald Reagan--it's just not fair that I never got to see him while he was the president!






All great change in America begins at the dinner table. Ronald Reagan




Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement. Ronald Reagan




But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret. Ronald Reagan




Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. Ronald Reagan




Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives. Ronald Reagan




I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress. Ronald Reagan





-C.S. Lewis--I know there are so many things I could learn from him.





Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. C. S. Lewis




Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. C. S. Lewis




Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. C. S. Lewis




Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. C. S. Lewis




God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. C. S. Lewis




I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis




If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning. C. S. Lewis




If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair. C. S. Lewis




It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one. C. S. Lewis

So I've told you who I'd like to meet--who would YOU like to meet? [Specifically, someone famous but they can be dead or alive.]

I would LOVE to meet C.S. Lewis. I love all of those quotes you posted, especially the ones about words that ore too big for the meaning and the 3rd to last one.

I would also like to meet J.R.R. Tolkien, that would be pretty awsome.
