More quotes by Ronald Reagan
Today, we're taking a break from the concerns and the bustle of the work-a-day world. But we're also making a new beginning. As we gather around our dining room tables for the midday meal, let us thank God for life and the blessings He's put before us. High among them are our families, our freedom, and the opportunities of a new year.
Ronald Reagan
Americans are hungering to feel proud and patriotic again.
Ronald Reagan
Freedom prospers only where the blessings of God are avidly sought, and humbly accepted.
Ronald Reagan
And there is the matter of abortion. We must with calmness and resolve help the vast majority of our fellow Americans understand that the more than 112 million abortions performed in America in 1980 amount to a great moral evil, an assault on the sacredness of human life.
Ronald Reagan
. . . Government should do only those things the people cannot do for themselves.
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
Perhaps no custom reveals our character as a Nation so clearly as our celebration of Thanksgiving Day.
Ronald Reagan
If there's one thing the American people aren't lacking, it is courage.
Ronald Reagan
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. We had probably the greatest growth and prosperity that we've ever known. I have taken heed of that because if he did that by doing nothing, maybe that's the answer.
Ronald Reagan
Government is the people's business and every man, woman and child becomes a shareholder with the first penny of tax paid.
Ronald Reagan
The . . . inescapable truth is: government does not have all the answers. In too many instances, government does not solve problems it subsidizes them.
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
I know that some believe that voluntary prayer in schools should be restricted to a moment of silence. We already have the right to remain silent - we can take our Fifth Amendment.
Ronald Reagan
The United Sates has much to offer the third world war.
Ronald Reagan
We must never remain silent in the face of bigotry. We must condemn those who seek to divide us. In all quarters and at all times, we must teach tolerance and denounce racism, anti-Semitism and all ethnic or religious bigotry wherever they exist as unacceptable evils. We have no place for haters in America -- none, whatsoever.
Ronald Reagan
There is no foundation like the rock of honesty and fairness, and when you begin to build your life on that rock, with the cement of the faith in God that you have, then you have a real start.
Ronald Reagan
I think the presidency is an institution over which you have temporary custody.
Ronald Reagan
I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon.
Ronald Reagan
History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap. To keep the peace, we and our allies must be strong enough to convince any potential aggressor that war could bring no benefit, only disaster.
Ronald Reagan
My mother told me that everything in life happened for a purpose. She said all things were part of God's plan, even the most disheartening setbacks, and in the end, everything worked out for the best.
Ronald Reagan
