More quotes by Ronald Reagan
Government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.
Ronald Reagan
The government is currently experiencing withdrawal symptoms, and we musn't feed the habit by injecting more tax dollars into it.
Ronald Reagan
I've been told that some members of Congress disagree with my tax cut proposal. Well, you know it's been said that taxation is the art of plucking feathers without killing the bird. It's time they realized the bird just doesn't have any feathers left.
Ronald Reagan
Freedom is the recognition that no single person, no single authority or government has a monopoly on the truth, but that every individual life is infinitely precious, that every one of us put in this world has been put there for a reason and has something to offer.
Ronald Reagan
I believe in a sound, strong environmental policy that protects the health of our people and a wise stewardship of our nation's natural resources.
Ronald Reagan
There is no security, no safety, in the appeasement of evil.
Ronald Reagan
Our liberty springs from and depends upon an abiding faith in God.
Ronald Reagan
Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work - work with us, not over us to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it foster productivity, not stifle it.
Ronald Reagan
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
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
Could there be a better answer to the stupidity of Karl Marx than millions of workers individually sharing in the ownership of the means of production.
Ronald Reagan
This crime against humanity must never be forgotten.
Ronald Reagan
If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.
Ronald Reagan
I usually never walk by a microphone.
Ronald Reagan
I know that it is often difficult to stand up for one's beliefs when they are being harshly challenged. But as one who has seen many challenges over a long lifetime, I can assure you that personal faith and conviction are strengthened, not weakened, in adversity.
Ronald Reagan
Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root.
Ronald Reagan
The bill's a textbook example of special interest pork barrel politics at work, and I have no choice but to veto it.
Ronald Reagan
Anyone that's ever had their kitchen done over knows that it never never gets done as soon as you wish it would.
Ronald Reagan
Respect for human rights is not social work it is not merely an act of compassion. It is the first obligation of government and the source of its legitimacy.
Ronald Reagan
When I took the oath of office, I pledged loyalty to only one special interest group - ‘We the people’.
Ronald Reagan
