More quotes by Ronald Reagan
The Congress of the United States, in recognition of the unique contribution of the Bible in shaping the history and character of this Nation, and so many of its citizens, has by Senate Joint Resolution 165 authorized and requested the President to designate the year 1983 as the 'Year of the Bible.'
Ronald Reagan
Throughout our history, We Americans have been willing to meet great challenges and do what is right when our destiny demanded it.
Ronald Reagan
Our enemies may be irrational, even outright insane, driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology. They do not fear the United States for its diplomatic skills or the number of automobiles and software programs it produces. They respect only the firepower of our tanks, planes and helicopter gunships.
Ronald Reagan
A people free to choose will always choose peace.
Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan
The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism, it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we'll dismiss it as a sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are even now being written.
Ronald Reagan
America was founded by people who believe that God is their Rock of safety.
Ronald Reagan
We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion, but what's important.
Ronald Reagan
Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.
Ronald Reagan
I, in my own mind, have always thought of America as a place in the divine scheme of things that was set aside as a promised land...Any person with the courage, with the desire to tear up their roots, to strive for freedom, to attempt and dare to live in a strange and foreign place, to travel halfway across the world was welcome here.
Ronald Reagan
Information is the oxygen of the modern age.
Ronald Reagan
Professional politicians like to talk about the value of experience in government. Nuts! The only experience you gain in politics is how to be political.
Ronald Reagan
Our goal is peace. We can gain that peace by strengthening our alliances, by speaking candidly about the dangers before us, by assuring potential adversaries of our seriousness, by actively pursuing every chance of honest and fruitful negotiation.
Ronald Reagan
There are simple answers to the nation's problems, but not easy ones.
Ronald Reagan
There can be no greater good than the quest for peace, and no finer purpose than the preservation of freedom.
Ronald Reagan
Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community?
Ronald Reagan
There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.
Ronald Reagan
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.
Ronald Reagan
