(...) And in all of that time I won a nickname, "The Great Communicator." But I never thought it was my style or the words I used that made a difference: It was the content. I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn't spring full bloom from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation — from our experience, our wisdom, and our belief in principles that have guided us for two centuries. They called it the Reagan revolution. Well, I'll accept that, but for me it always seemed more like the great rediscovery, a rediscovery of our values and our common sense.
(...) We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for eight years did the work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all.
Reagan’s farewell address - 11/1/1989

Hail to the Chief Ronald Wilson Reagan 1911 - 2004 In memoriam

Fue un verdadero ídolo. Sus discursos y sus acciones fueron de una gran inspiración durante mis años de iniciación a las ideas políticas.
Nos acompaña en Sine Metu desde sus inicios.
Fue un ejemplo y lo seguirá siendo.

President Reagan is one of the greatest men of our time, and one of the greatest American Presidents of all time.
Margaret Thatcher - 10/12/1997

Ronald Reagan ha sido el político más importante del siglo XX, el que se abre con la revolución soviética y se cierra con la caída del Muro, el siglo de la ignominia, del totalitarismo, de Auschwitz y el Gulag, la centuria del asesinato en masa que abrió el infame Vladimir Ilitch Ulianov, el más lúgubre y grandioso de los criminales en serie, y cerró este viejo optimista, ese anciano que se desvaneció en la infancia descuidada de antes de la memoria, que sólo podía haber nacido en los Estados Unidos, que sólo desde la propia reflexión política y vital norteamericana podía llegar a las conclusiones ideológicas que le permitieron cambiar el panorama internacional y que sólo desde el Poder y el poder de los USA pudo efectivamente imponer ese cambio en todo el mundo.

He changed the map of the world. He defeated communism. He destroyed the Soviet Union. He tore down the Berlin Wall and he fought for the rights of the individual.
Rudy Giulliani

He taught us the importance of freedom, freedom in economic life, freedom in political life. And he taught us the importance of understanding ideas, translating them into action. He understood very deeply the ideas he was advocating.
George Schultz

Those who love liberty lost one of their premier leaders when Ronald Reagan died this weekend. One need not consider all of Reagan's policies excellent to realize that he was the only president in the twentieth century who understood what America meant to all the world, why it was dubbed "the leader of the free world," despite many of its contradictions and problems.

le jour de gloire est arrivé

Primero Paola, la cabecita sin prensa, Nº 1 del mundo en dobles desde hace tiempo. Después Gastón, el tipo que no podía, pidió ayuda y llegó.
Dos ejemplos. La primera por la constante efectividad en su trabajo de bajo perfil. El segundo por atreverse a cambiar para lograr el éxito.
