More quotes by Ronald Reagan
There are simple answers to the nation's problems, but not easy ones.
Ronald Reagan
America was founded by people who believe that God was their rock of safety. I recognize we must be cautious in claiming that God is on our side, but I think it's all right to keep asking if we're on His side.
Ronald Reagan
Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work - work with us, not over us to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it foster productivity, not stifle it.
Ronald Reagan
What is important is that one strives to achieve a goal.
Ronald Reagan
Environmental extremists ... wouldn't let you build a house unless it looked like a bird's nest.
Ronald Reagan
I'm convinced, more than ever, that man finds liberation only when he binds himself to God and commits himself to his fellow man.
Ronald Reagan
Piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.
Ronald Reagan
The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution.
Ronald Reagan
We're in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.
Ronald Reagan
... the moral equal of our Founding Fathers.
Ronald Reagan
I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers: Go ahead, make my day.
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
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
How could an actor become president?
Ronald Reagan
Revenues should be increased not by increasing the tax rates on the individual but by building a bigger economy for everybody.
Ronald Reagan
The family has always been the cornerstone of American society. Our families nurture, preserve, and pass on to each succeeding generation the values we share and cherish, values that are the foundation of our freedoms.
Ronald Reagan
Whether meeting with leaders and parents concerned about drugs in Bonn, Lisbon, or with the Holy Father at the Vatican, or doing a pretty fair flamenco in Madrid, I think Nancy's one of the best ambassadors America's ever had.
Ronald Reagan
I told you once that [our marriage] was like an adolescent's dream of what marriage should be like. That hasn't changed.
Ronald Reagan
For too long, the victims of crime have been the forgotten persons of our criminal justice system.
Ronald Reagan
One day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
Ronald Reagan
