More quotes by 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
If history teaches us anything, it teaches that simple-minded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly.
Ronald Reagan
One of mankind's problems is we keep committing the same errors.
Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan
We're more than friends and neighbors and allies we are kin, who together have built the most productive relationship between any two countries in the world today.
Ronald Reagan
A university is a place where ancient tradition thrives alongside the most revolutionary ideas. Perhaps as no other institution, a university is simultaneously committed to the day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow.
Ronald Reagan
For one, we very much need in any immigration bill - we need protection for people who are in this country and who have not become citizens, for example, that they are protected and legitimized and given permanent residency here. And we want to see some things of that kind added to the immigration bill.
Ronald Reagan
One picture is worth 1,000 denials.
Ronald Reagan
America stands unique in the world: the only country not founded on race but on a way, an ideal. Not in spite of but because of our polyglot background, we have had all the strength in the world. That is the American way.
Ronald Reagan
I have left orders to be awakened at any time during national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting.
Ronald Reagan
Form and Substance are opposite ends of the same coin.
Ronald Reagan
Revolution means democracy in today's world, not the enslavement of peoples to the corrupt and degrading horrors of totalitarianism
Ronald Reagan
