More quotes by Ronald Reagan
I believe no challenge is more important to the character of America than restoring the right to life to all human beings.
Ronald Reagan
Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom, and then lost it, have never known it again.
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
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
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
The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.
Ronald Reagan
There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.
Ronald Reagan
There you go again. When I opposed Medicare, there was another piece of legislation meeting the same problem before the Congress. I happened to favor the other piece of legislation and thought that it would be better for the senior citizens to provide better care than the one that was finally passed.
Ronald Reagan
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
There is nothing wrong with America that Americans can't fix.
Ronald Reagan
Revenues should be increased not by increasing the tax rates on the individual but by building a bigger economy for everybody.
Ronald Reagan
The other day, someone told me the difference between a democracy and a people's democracy. It's the same difference between a jacket and a straitjacket.
Ronald Reagan
Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
Ronald Reagan
America needs jobs and opportunity, not make-work and handouts.
Ronald Reagan
If you can't summarize an issue on one page, you don't understand the issue well enough.
Ronald Reagan
If it takes a bloodbath now let's get it over with.
Ronald Reagan
America's best days are yet to come.
Ronald Reagan
They [The Soviet Union] are the focus of evil in the modern world.
Ronald Reagan
Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide.
Ronald Reagan
Our spirit is back, but we haven't reinstitutionalized it. We've got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom - freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It's fragile it needs production [protection].
Ronald Reagan
