More quotes by Ronald Reagan
America has never gotten in a war because we were too strong.
Ronald Reagan
They don't worship at the altar of forced busing and mandatory quotas. They don't believe you can remedy past discrimination by mandating new discrimination. (Defending his nominees for Civil Rights Commission)
Ronald Reagan
This is a matter of vital importance to the public safety ... While we recognize that assault-weapon legislation will not stop all assault-weapon crime, statistics prove that we can dry up the supply of these guns, making them less accessible to criminals.
Ronald Reagan
Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
Ronald Reagan
We're more than friends and neighbors and allies we are kin, who together have built the most productive relationship between any two countries in the world today.
Ronald Reagan
I like photographers-you don't ask questions.
Ronald Reagan
A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
Ronald Reagan
We have the means to change the laws we find unjust or onerous. We cannot, as citizens, pick and choose the laws we will or will not obey.
Ronald Reagan
I am told that tens of thousands of prayer meetings are being held on this day for that I am deeply grateful. We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended for us to be free. It would be fitting and good, I think, if on each inaugural day in future years it should be declared a day of prayer.
Ronald Reagan
Trees cause pollution.
Ronald Reagan
We establish no religion in this country. We command no worship. We mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are and must remain separate.
Ronald Reagan
We're the party that wants to see an America in which people can still get rich.
Ronald Reagan
If there's one observation that rings true in today's changing world, it is that freedom and peace go hand in hand.
Ronald Reagan
Our military strength is a prerequisite to peace, but let it be clear we maintain this strength in the hope it will never be used.
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
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
Let us renew our faith that as free men and women we still have the power to better our lives.
Ronald Reagan
When you start talking about government as 'we' instead of 'they,' you have been in office too long.
Ronald Reagan
If not us, who? And if not now, when?
Ronald Reagan
Could there be a better answer to the stupidity of Karl Marx than millions of workers individually sharing in the ownership of the means of production.
Ronald Reagan
