More quotes by Ronald Reagan
Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.
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
I never thought it was my style or the words I used that made a difference. It was the content. I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things.
Ronald Reagan
I believe with all my heart that our first priority must be world peace, and that use of force is always and only a last resort, when everything else has failed, and then only with regard to our national security.
Ronald Reagan
With the right to bear arms comes a great responsibility to use caution and common sense on handgun purchases.
Ronald Reagan
With freedom goes responsibility, a responsibility that can only be met by the individual himself.
Ronald Reagan
Education is like a diamond with many facets: It includes the basic mastery of numbers and letters that give us access to the treasury of human knowledge, accumulated and refined through the ages it includes technical and vocational training as well as instruction in science, higher mathematics, and humane letters.
Ronald Reagan
The most fundamental paradox is that if we're never to use force, we must be prepared to use it and to use it successfully. We Americans don't want war and we don't start fights. We don't maintain a strong military force to conquer or coerce others. The purpose of our military is simple and straightforward: we want to prevent war.
Ronald Reagan
When you start talking about government as 'we' instead of 'they,' you have been in office too long.
Ronald Reagan
Trust the people -- that is the crucial lesson of history.
Ronald Reagan
America has never gotten in a war because we were too strong.
Ronald Reagan
I don't think any of us should forget that the security of America is our highest responsibility.
Ronald Reagan
Were not cutting the budget simply for the sake of sounder financial management. This is only a first step toward returning power to the states and communities, only a first step toward reordering the relationship between citizen and government.
Ronald Reagan
Blondes have the hottest kisses. Red-heads are fair-to-middling torrid, and brunettes are the frigidest of all. It's something to do with hormones, no doubt.
Ronald Reagan
Freedom is the recognition that no single person, no single authority or government has a monopoly on the truth, but that every individual life is infinitely precious, that every one of us put in this world has been put there for a reason and has something to offer.
Ronald Reagan
There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.
Ronald Reagan
Government is not the answer to the problem - it IS the problem.
Ronald Reagan
Every dollar the federal government does not take from us, every decision it does not make for us, will make our economy stronger, our lives more abundant, our future more free.
Ronald Reagan
I know all the bad things that happened in that war. I was in uniform four years myself.
Ronald Reagan
I'm not a politician by profession. I am a citizen who decided I had to be personally involved.
