You hear a lot of jokes every once in a while about 'Silent Cal Coolidge.' The joke is on the people who make the jokes. Look at his record. He cut the taxes four times.

Ronald Reagan
To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last - but eat you he will.
Ronald Reagan
For too long, the victims of crime have been the forgotten persons of our criminal justice system.
Ronald Reagan
I think people have a need to feel good about the country they live in, but what's happening, I think, is that that need - which is a good thing - is getting manipulated and exploited.
Ronald Reagan
There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.
