Baseball is our national pastime, that is if you discount political campaigning.
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
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

The best social reform program in the world is a job.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.

The neutron warhead is a defensive weapon designed to offset the great superiority that the Soviet Union has on the western front against the NATO nations.

Image
Elvis epitomised America, and for that we shall be eternally grateful. There will never be anyone else like him. Let's all rejoice in his music.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I think, too, that we've got to recognize that where the preservation of a natural resource like the redwoods is concerned, that there is a common sense limit. I mean, if you've looked at a hundred thousand acres or so of trees-you know, a tree is a tree, how many more do you need to look at? Opposing expansion of Redwood National Park.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Have we the courage and the will to face up to the immorality and discrimination of the progressive tax, and demand a return to traditional proportionate taxation? ... Today in our country the tax collector's share is 37 cents of every dollar earned. Freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
Ronald Reagan
Image
If you owe the bank $10,000 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $10,000,000 they have a problem. After all is said and done, more is said than done. Government does not solve problems it subsidizes them.
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
America has always been greatest when we dared to be great. We can reach for greatness again. We can follow our dreams to distant stars, living and working in space for peaceful, economic, and scientific gain. Tonight, I am directing NASA to develop a permanently manned space station, and to do it within a decade.

Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The economic welfare of all our people must ultimately stem not from government programs, but from the wealth created by a vigorous private sector.
Ronald Reagan
Image
An America that is militarily and economically strong is not enough. The world must see an America that is morally strong with a creed and a vision. This is what has led us to dare and achieve. For us, values count.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Certain forms of ammunition have no legitimate sporting, recreational, or self-defense use and thus should be prohibited.
Ronald Reagan
Image
If adults want to take such chances (with marijuana) that is their business
Ronald Reagan
Image
The American people cannot close their eyes to abuses of human rights and injustice, whether they occur among friend or adversary or even on our own shores.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Politics is just like show business. You have a hell of an opening, coast for a while, and then have a hell of a close.
