. . . Government should do only those things the people cannot do for themselves.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Economists are people who wonder if what works in reality can also work in theory.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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
Image
May every day be a new beginning, and every dawn bring us closer to that shining city upon a hill.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. No serious scholar, including one disposed to agree with the Court's result, has argued that the framers of the Constitution intended to create such a right.
Ronald Reagan
Image
When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.
Ronald Reagan
Image
America has never gotten in a war because we were too strong.
Ronald Reagan
Image
My basic rule is that I want people who don't want a job in government.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.
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
Image
We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion, but what's important.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The difference between them and us is that we want to check government spending and they want to spend government checks.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Yes, deficits are a problem. I've been saying so for more than a quarter of a century now. But the problem is not the size of the deficit, it's the size of government's claim on our economy.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Only our deep moral values and our strong social institutions can hold back that jungle and restrain the darker impulses of human nature.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We have found, in our country, that when people have the right to make decisions as close to home as possible, they usually make the right decisions.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I have always thought of government as a kind of organism with an insatiable appetite for money, whose natural state is to grow forever unless you do something to starve it.
Ronald Reagan
Image
These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Every dollar the federal government does not take from us, every decision it does not make for us, will make our economy stronger, our lives more abundant, our future more free.
Ronald Reagan
Image
If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.
Ronald Reagan

An actor knows two important things - to be honest in what he is doing and to be in touch with the audience. That's not bad advice for a politician either.
