I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing.

If you owe the bank $10,000 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $10,000,000 they have a problem. After all is said and done, more is said than done. Government does not solve problems it subsidizes them.

When people tell me that I became President on January 20th, 1981, I feel I have to correct them. You don't become President of the United States. You are given temporary custody of an institution called the Presidency, which belongs to our people.
Ronald Reagan

I have always thought of government as a kind of organism with an insatiable appetite for money, whose natural state is to grow forever unless you do something to starve it.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We could say the government spend like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors, because the sailors are spending their own money.

In America, our origins matter less than our destination, and that is what democracy is all about.
Ronald Reagan

When you start talking about government as 'we' instead of 'they,' you have been in office too long.
Ronald Reagan
