Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan (1911–2004) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler und Politiker, der von 1981 bis 1989 als 40. Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten in Washington, D.C., amtierte. Er prägte eine konservative Wende und die politische Mobilisierung evangelikaler Christen, stand jedoch zugleich wegen der Iran-Contra-Affäre und einer wachsenden sozialen Ungleichheit in der Kritik. Für Bibelleser ist er heute durch seine Verknüpfung biblischer Motive mit patriotischer Rhetorik präsent, unter anderem durch die Proklamation des nationalen „Jahres der Bibel“ 1983.

Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself one way or the other at all.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was yourself.
