More quotes by Ronald Reagan
We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion, but what's important.
Ronald Reagan
I am told that tens of thousands of prayer meetings are being held on this day for that I am deeply grateful. We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended for us to be free. It would be fitting and good, I think, if on each inaugural day in future years it should be declared a day of prayer.
Ronald Reagan
. . . And always remember that you are Americans, and it is your birthright to dream great dreams in this sweet and blessed land, truly the greatest, freest, strongest nation on Earth.
Ronald Reagan
We speak with pride and admiration of that little band of Americans who overcame insuperable odds to set this nation on course 200 years ago. But our glory didn't end with them. Americans ever since have emulated their deeds.
Ronald Reagan
I think all of us are agreed that war is probably man's greatest stupidity and I think peace is the dream that lives in the heart of everyone wherever he may be in the world, but unfortunately, unlike a family quarrel, it doesn't take two to make a war. It only takes one, unless the other one is prepared to surrender at the first hint of force.
Ronald Reagan
I just don't think it's good for us to be run out of town. (Refusing to cancel Secretary of State visit to Moscow)
Ronald Reagan
I sometimes think if someone appealed the Ten Commandments to some of our courts, they would rule - 'Thou shalt not, unless you feel strongly to the contrary'.
Ronald Reagan
Piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.
Ronald Reagan
And there is the matter of abortion. We must with calmness and resolve help the vast majority of our fellow Americans understand that the more than 112 million abortions performed in America in 1980 amount to a great moral evil, an assault on the sacredness of human life.
Ronald Reagan
I'm not a politician by profession. I am a citizen who decided I had to be personally involved.
Ronald Reagan
The Founding Fathers knew a government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they knew when a government sets out to do that it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose.
Ronald Reagan
If you put it on the table as a bargaining chip, it becomes a bargaining chip
Ronald Reagan
Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong.
Ronald Reagan
Our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring democracy the tolerance it requires to survive
Ronald Reagan
Some years ago, the federal government declared war on poverty, and poverty won.
Ronald Reagan
Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. No serious scholar, including one disposed to agree with the Court's result, has argued that the framers of the Constitution intended to create such a right.
Ronald Reagan
Middle age is when you're faced with two temptations and you choose the one that will get you home by nine o'clock.
Ronald Reagan
The people of Central America - and, in a broader sense, the entire developing world - need to know first-hand that freedom and opportunity are not just for the elite, but the birthright of every citizen that property is not just something enjoyed by a few, but can be owned by any individual who works hard and makes correct decisions.
Ronald Reagan
Yes, the deficit doctors have their scalpels out all right, but they're not poised over the budget. That's as fat as ever and getting fatter. What they're ready to operate on is your wallet.
Ronald Reagan
For one, we very much need in any immigration bill - we need protection for people who are in this country and who have not become citizens, for example, that they are protected and legitimized and given permanent residency here. And we want to see some things of that kind added to the immigration bill.
Ronald Reagan
