Image
I heard one presidential candidate say that what this country needed was a president for the nineties. I was set to run again. I thought he said a president IN his nineties.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Generations hence, parents will take their children to these woods to show them how the land must have looked to the first Pilgrims and pioneers. And as Americans wander through these forests, climb these mountains, they will sense the love and majesty of the Creator of all of that.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Peace is more than just an absence of war. True peace is justice, true peace is freedom, and true peace dictates the recognition of human rights.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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
Image
America has never gotten in a war because we were too strong.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We the people tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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.

How can a president not be an actor?
Ronald Reagan
Image
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
Image
The bill's a textbook example of special interest pork barrel politics at work, and I have no choice but to veto it.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon.
Ronald Reagan
Image
My doctors told me this morning my blood pressure is down so low that I can start reading the newspapers.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The Democrats say that the United States has had its days in the sun, that our nation has passed its zenith. They expect you to tell your children that the American people no longer have the will to cope with their problems, that the future will be one of sacrifice and few opportunities. My fellow citizens, I utterly reject that view.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Church and state are, and must remain, separate.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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
Image
Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Our forbearance should never be misunderstood. Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will. When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I will stand on, and continue to use, the figures I have used, because I believe they are correct. Now, I'm not going to deny that you don't now and then slip up on something no one bats a thousand.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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.
