More quotes by Ronald Reagan
What does an actor know about politics?
Ronald Reagan
I don't have too much time for fiction.
Ronald Reagan
I have learned that one of the most important rules in politics is poise - which means looking like an owl after you have behaved like a jackass.
Ronald Reagan
They are our brothers, these freedom fighters.... They are the moral equal of our Founding Fathers and the brave men and women of the French Resistance. We cannot turn away from them, for the struggle here is not right versus left it is right versus wrong.
Ronald Reagan
A university is a place where ancient tradition thrives alongside the most revolutionary ideas. Perhaps as no other institution, a university is simultaneously committed to the day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow.
Ronald Reagan
Don't let anyone tell you that America's best days are behind her - that the American spirit has been vanquished. We've seen it triumph too often in our lives to stop believing in it now.
Ronald Reagan
As two proud and independent peoples, there is much that distinguishes us one from the other, but there is also much that we share: a vast continent, with its common hardships and uncommon duties generations of mutual respect and support, and an abiding friendship that grows ever stronger.
Ronald Reagan
If there's one thing the American people aren't lacking, it is courage.
Ronald Reagan
When a business or an individual spends more than it makes, it goes bankrupt. When government does it, it sends you the bill. And when government does it for 40 years, the bill comes in two ways: higher taxes and inflation. Make no mistake about it, inflation is a tax and not by accident.
Ronald Reagan
When I took the oath of office, I pledged loyalty to only one special interest group - ‘We the people’.
Ronald Reagan
A drastic reduction in the deficit...will take place in the fiscal year '82.
Ronald Reagan
I deplore the tendency, in some institutions, to go directly toward training for a trade or profession or something and ignoring the liberal arts. It is the foundation of education.
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
When we speak of peace, we should not mean just the absence of war. True peace rests on the pillars of individual freedom, human rights, national self-determination, and respect for the rule of law.
Ronald Reagan
When PLO sniper fire is followed by 14 hours of Israeli bombardment, that's stretching the definition of defensive action too far.
Ronald Reagan
I supported this bill. I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and who have lived here even though sometime back they may have entered illegally.
Ronald Reagan
I know all the bad things that happened in that war. I was in uniform four years myself.
Ronald Reagan
I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.
Ronald Reagan
I couldn't help but say to [Mr. Gorbachev], just think how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from another planet. [We'd] find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this earth together.
Ronald Reagan
I believe with all my heart that our first priority must be world peace, and that use of force is always and only a last resort, when everything else has failed, and then only with regard to our national security.
Ronald Reagan
