More quotes by Ronald Reagan
Perhaps there is a simple answer -- not an easy answer -- but simple: If you and I have the courage to tell our elected officials that we want our national policy based on what we know in our hearts is morally right.
Ronald Reagan
America has not been a story or a byword. That small community of Pilgrims prospered and, driven by the dreams and, yes, by the ideas of the Founding Fathers, went on to become a beacon to all the oppressed and poor of the world.
Ronald Reagan
Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it foster productivity not stifle it.
Ronald Reagan
When you start talking about government as 'we' instead of 'they,' you have been in office too long.
Ronald Reagan
The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of these United States are covenants we have made not only with ourselves, but with all mankind. Our founding documents proclaim to the world that freedom is not the sole prerogative of a chosen few. It is the universal right of all God's children.
Ronald Reagan
Sixty percent of our immigrants are admitted merely because they have relatives here. Many of these people are not immediate relative, but are part of extended families. The nepotistic U.S. policy lets in relatives then lets in the relatives' relatives, and so on, creating an endless and ever growing chain of new immigrants.
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
We will remain steady. We will pursue every avenue in the search for peace and stability.
Ronald Reagan
Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.
Ronald Reagan
Our goal is peace. We can gain that peace by strengthening our alliances, by speaking candidly about the dangers before us, by assuring potential adversaries of our seriousness, by actively pursuing every chance of honest and fruitful negotiation.
Ronald Reagan
For the average American, the message is clear. Liberalism is no longer the answer. It is the problem.
Ronald Reagan
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
Ronald Reagan
Constructive trade, the two-way exchange of goods and services, is the most efficient and logical way for each nation . . . to build a stable prosperity, a prosperity based not on aid, but on mutually beneficial economic contacts.
Ronald Reagan
It is the Soviet Union that runs against the tide of human history by denying human freedom and human dignity to its citizens.
Ronald Reagan
This crime against humanity must never be forgotten.
Ronald Reagan
A stronger defense is an investment in peace.
Ronald Reagan
Freedom is indivisible - there is no s on the end of it. You can erode freedom, diminish it, but you cannot divide it and choose to keep some freedoms while giving up others.
Ronald Reagan
Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong.
Ronald Reagan
I hope Americans will read and study the Bible in the coming year. It's my firm belief that the enduring values, as I say, presented in its pages have a great meaning for each of us and for our nation.
Ronald Reagan
There are simple answers to the nation's problems, but not easy ones.
