More quotes by Ronald Reagan
I have learned that one of the most important rules in politics is poise - which means looking like an owl after you have behaved like a jackass.
Ronald Reagan
There can be no greater good than the quest for peace, and no finer purpose than the preservation of freedom.
Ronald Reagan
Since I came to the White House, I got two hearing aids, a colon operation, skin cancer, a prostate operation, and I was shot. The damn thing is, I've never felt better in my life.
Ronald Reagan
America stands unique in the world: the only country not founded on race but on a way, an ideal. Not in spite of but because of our polyglot background, we have had all the strength in the world. That is the American way.
Ronald Reagan
Individual liberty depends upon keeping government under control.
Ronald Reagan
We're in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.
Ronald Reagan
Margaret Thatcher - this great lady has not only served her country well, she has served the free world well.
Ronald Reagan
Good citizenship and defending democracy means living up to the ideals and values that make this country great.
Ronald Reagan
The First Continental Congress made its first act a prayer, the beginning of a great tradition. We have then a lesson from the founders of our land. That lesson is clear: That in the winning of freedom and in the living of life, the first step is prayer.
Ronald Reagan
Free enterprise is a rough and competitive game. It is a hell of a lot better than a government monopoly.
Ronald Reagan
My doctors told me this morning my blood pressure is down so low that I can start reading the newspapers.
Ronald Reagan
I remain California-bound
Ronald Reagan
This is not the time for political fun and games. This is the time for a new beginning. I ask you now to put aside any feelings of frustration or helplessness about our political institutions and join me in this dramatic but responsible plan to reduce the enormous burden of Federal taxation on you and your family.
Ronald Reagan
We've gone astray from first principles. We've lost sight of the rule that individual freedom and ingenuity are at the very core of everything that we've accomplished. Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Ronald Reagan
Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.
Ronald Reagan
I just don't think it's good for us to be run out of town. (Refusing to cancel Secretary of State visit to Moscow)
Ronald Reagan
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
Ronald Reagan
You hear a lot of jokes every once in a while about 'Silent Cal Coolidge.' The joke is on the people who make the jokes. Look at his record. He cut the taxes four times. We had probably the greatest growth and prosperity that we've ever known. I have taken heed of that because if he did that by doing nothing, maybe that's the answer.
Ronald Reagan
Democracy is not a fragile flower still it needs cultivating.
Ronald Reagan
Dreams became issues of East versus West. Hopes became political rhetoric. Progress became a search for power and domination. Somewhere the truth was lost that people don't make war, governments do.
Ronald Reagan
