More quotes by Ronald Reagan
I've always thought New Year's Day was an especially American tradition, full of the optimism and hope we're famous for in our daily lives -- an energy and confidence we call the American spirit. Perhaps because we know we control our own destiny, we believe deep down inside that working together we can make each new year better than the old.
Ronald Reagan
Permanent brain damage is one of the inevitable results of the use of marijuana.
Ronald Reagan
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
Die-hard conservatives thought that if I couldn't get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying-go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I'm trying to get ... I'll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future.
Ronald Reagan
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
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
A nation's greatness is measured not just by its gross national product or military power, but by the strength of its devotion to the principles and values that bind its people and define their character.
Ronald Reagan
They've done away with those committees. That shows the success of what the Soviets were able to do in this country.
Ronald Reagan
My fellow Americans, I must speak to you tonight about a mounting danger in Central America that threatens the security of the United States. This danger will not go away it will grow worse, much worse, if we fail to take action now.
Ronald Reagan
Every new day begins with possibilities. It's up to us to fill it with the things that move us toward progress and peace.
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
In case anybody asks you about my position on capital punishment, you can tell them I favor it and if they want to know why, you can tell them this story.
Ronald Reagan
If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
Ronald Reagan
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
They are our brothers, these freedom fighters.... They are the moral equal of our Founding Fathers and the brave men and women of the French Resistance. We cannot turn away from them, for the struggle here is not right versus left it is right versus wrong.
Ronald Reagan
The people of Central America - and, in a broader sense, the entire developing world - need to know first-hand that freedom and opportunity are not just for the elite, but the birthright of every citizen that property is not just something enjoyed by a few, but can be owned by any individual who works hard and makes correct decisions.
Ronald Reagan
Governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people.
Ronald Reagan
Revolution means democracy in today's world, not the enslavement of peoples to the corrupt and degrading horrors of totalitarianism
Ronald Reagan
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
Let us not forget who we are. Drug abuse is a repudiation of everything America is.
Ronald Reagan
