Simple: name a leader from the history of your country, and a quote from them.
Emperor Maximllian Xavier: " Man is born of Dust, not plants or water or fire. To betray the dust to anyone of these is to betray God." Rate those above you.

Gen. Castro-Stalina: "Never underestimate the value of hot food and dry socks."

Current Prime Minister and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Harlan Escrow: "A good diplomat can defeat his opponent in such a way that even a medical examiner can't find the bullets. We don't have any good diplomats. Which way to the bar?" (Notable as one of the few statements in which he didn't use the word "bastard".)

Presidential candidate and national icon, Alphonse: "QUACK!" (when questioned about budget overruns in the Ministry of Health).

"That wasn't flour, that flew up up your nose."

Lord-Emperor Harvey: "I'm well-aware I'm looking at eternal damnation when I die. I've done too much evil, too much irredeemable things to people close to me...to people whose names I did not know in my quest to save and advance humanity to deserve living an eternity of peace and joy in the sight of the Lord. My only comfort is that I succeeded in my goals."

General Hicks: "Peace is a f*ckin' joke..the best you can do is blow the sh*t out of anybody and any muthaf*ckin' thing that tries to mess up our little order around here even in the f*ckin' SLIGHTEST LITTLE A**WIPE IN BETWEEN THEIR LITTLE A**CHEEKS....wipe it out quickly, and you contain it. You watch em', you put bullets, lasers, all that crazy sh*t straight into their f*ckin' heads before they can even say 'holy sh*t, you have some nice guns!' There's no such thing as peace, folks...just police."

I think you should have cut out everything but the last sentence for the second one though. That would have increased its awesome by a factor of ten.

"We do not kill, we merely quiet. It is a sad fact that certain types must be quieted permanently." -Pope Luke VII, on the Protestant Insurrection.

"When everything is gone, when everything is 'quiet', what will you have won? There will be no war, true, but can the remainder be honestly called peace?" -Moses, leader of the Insurrection.

Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there." Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the Moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.
