More quotes by Ronald Reagan
Admittedly, there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face.
Ronald Reagan
If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state, because everybody would join the other party.
Ronald Reagan
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
Ronald Reagan
No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.
Ronald Reagan
The difference between them and us is that we want to check government spending and they want to spend government checks.
Ronald Reagan
With freedom goes responsibility, a responsibility that can only be met by the individual himself.
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
Some years ago, the federal government declared war on poverty, and poverty won.
Ronald Reagan
The government is currently experiencing withdrawal symptoms, and we musn't feed the habit by injecting more tax dollars into it.
Ronald Reagan
No matter how big and powerful government gets, and the many services it provides, it can never take the place of volunteers.
Ronald Reagan
Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out.
Ronald Reagan
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
I think all of us are agreed that war is probably man's greatest stupidity and I think peace is the dream that lives in the heart of everyone wherever he may be in the world, but unfortunately, unlike a family quarrel, it doesn't take two to make a war. It only takes one, unless the other one is prepared to surrender at the first hint of force.
Ronald Reagan
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
To those who cite the first amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions and everyday life, may I just say: The first amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny.
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
America is the moral force that defeated communism and all those who would put the human soul itself into bondage.
Ronald Reagan
Well, I would - if they realized that we - again if - if we led them back to that stalemate only because our retaliatory power, our seconds, or strike at them after our first strike, would be so destructive they they couldn't afford it, that would hold them off.
Ronald Reagan
Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit.
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)
