More quotes by Ronald Reagan

Image
To grasp and hold a vision, that is the very essence of successful leadership-not only on the movie set where I learned it, but everywhere.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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
Image
It is the Soviet Union that runs against the tide of history . . . . [It is] the march of freedom and democracy which will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history, as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I know all the bad things that happened in that war. I was in uniform four years myself.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We can have peace and brotherly love by accepting our responsibility to preserve freedom.
Ronald Reagan
Image
You and I, as individuals, can, by borrowing, live beyond our means, but for only a limited period of time. Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we're not bound by that same limitation? We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow.
Ronald Reagan
Image
No matter how big and powerful government gets, and the many services it provides, it can never take the place of volunteers.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay the price.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge, it's common sense.
Ronald Reagan
Image
. . . Government should do only those things the people cannot do for themselves.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Democracy is not a fragile flower still it needs cultivating.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as 'the masses.'
Ronald Reagan
Image
Yes, deficits are a problem. I've been saying so for more than a quarter of a century now. But the problem is not the size of the deficit, it's the size of government's claim on our economy.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Today, we're taking a break from the concerns and the bustle of the work-a-day world. But we're also making a new beginning. As we gather around our dining room tables for the midday meal, let us thank God for life and the blessings He's put before us. High among them are our families, our freedom, and the opportunities of a new year.
Ronald Reagan

Margaret Thatcher - this great lady has not only served her country well, she has served the free world well.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We the people tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Most of my dreams came true.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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.

The ongoing migration of persons to the United States in violation of our laws is a serious national problem detrimental to the interests of the United States.
