If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn't be here. It'd still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.

Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge, it's common sense.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I have seen the rise of fascism and communism. Both philosophies glorify the arbitrary power of the state... But both theories fail. Both deny those God-given liberties that are the inalienable right of each person on this planet, indeed, they deny the existence of God.
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.

Meanwhile, what about the workers in those state monopolies that are being put up for sale? I am reminded of a technique for employee ownership that has worked well for many U.S. companies. It goes by various names, but the best known is Employee Stock Ownership Program, or ESOP.

I know that it is often difficult to stand up for one's beliefs when they are being harshly challenged. But as one who has seen many challenges over a long lifetime, I can assure you that personal faith and conviction are strengthened, not weakened, in adversity.

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government IS the problem. It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
Ronald Reagan
Image
As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it, we will not surrender for it - now or ever.
Ronald Reagan
Image
There is nothing wrong with America that Americans can't fix.
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.
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.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Government is not the answer to the problem - it IS the problem.
Ronald Reagan
Image
During my first press conference as president, in answer to a direct question, I pointed out that, as good Marxist-Leninists, the Soviet leaders have openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is that which will further their cause, which is world revolution.
Ronald Reagan

The signs of the Vietnam War protestors said Make Love not War! It didn't seem to me that they were capable of either.

One picture is worth 1,000 denials.
Ronald Reagan

The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom...
Ronald Reagan
Image
Law and freedom must be indivisible partners. For without law, there can be no freedom, only choas and disorder and without freedom, law is but a cynical veneer for injustice and oppression.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We were poor when I was young but the difference was that the government didn't come around telling you you were poor.
Ronald Reagan
Image
People who think a tax boost will cure inflation are the same ones who believe another drink will cure a hangover.
Ronald Reagan

I believe no challenge is more important to the character of America than restoring the right to life to all human beings.

Elena, my four year old, says to me in all seriousness Mommy, you need to buy another baby.
