Yes, the deficit doctors have their scalpels out all right, but they're not poised over the budget. That's as fat as ever and getting fatter. What they're ready to operate on is your wallet.

More quotes by Ronald Reagan
Even now I wonder what I might have accomplished if I'd studied harder
Ronald Reagan
We desire peace. But peace is a goal, not a policy. Lasting peace is what we hope for at the end of our journey. It doesn't describe the steps we must take nor the paths we should follow to reach that goal.
Ronald Reagan
You and I, as individuals, can, by borrowing, live beyond our means, but for only a limited period of time. Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we're not bound by that same limitation? We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow.
Ronald Reagan
Government Steals from the needy and gives to the greedy
Ronald Reagan
I'm not a politician by profession. I am a citizen who decided I had to be personally involved.
Ronald Reagan
The NRA believes America's laws were made to be obeyed and that our Constitutional liberties are just as important today as 200 years ago. And by the way, the Constitution does not say Government shall decree the right to keep and bear arms. The Constitution says 'The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.'
Ronald Reagan
America's economic strength depends on industry's ability to improve productivity and quality and to remain on the cutting edge of technology, and that's why the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award is so important.
Ronald Reagan
Professional politicians like to talk about the value of experience in government. Nuts! The only experience you gain in politics is how to be political.
Ronald Reagan
My basic rule is that I want people who don't want a job in government.
Ronald Reagan
I'll be like Scarlett O'Hara-I'll think about it tomorrow.
Ronald Reagan
In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater awareness of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are affected by it.
Ronald Reagan
No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.
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
Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas.
Ronald Reagan
I am an environmentalist. ... I am for clean air.
Ronald Reagan
Let us not forget who we are. Drug abuse is a repudiation of everything America is.
Ronald Reagan
Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefiting from their success - only then can societies remain economically alive, dynamic, prosperous, progressive and free.
Ronald Reagan
Our leaders must remember that education doesn't begin with some isolated bureaucrat in Washington. It doesn't even begin with state or local officials. Education begins in the home, where it is a parental right and responsibility.
Ronald Reagan
Anyone who seeks success or greatness should first forget about both and seek only the truth. The rest will follow.
Ronald Reagan
Don't be afraid to see what you see.
