Don't let the doom criers and the cynics persuade you that the best is past.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Yes, the deficit doctors have their scalpels out all right, but they're not poised over the budget. That's as fat as ever and getting fatter. What they're ready to operate on is your wallet.
Ronald Reagan
Image
You can achieve anything in politics provided that you let someone else take the credit.
Ronald Reagan
Image
These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war.

Image
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.

Die-hard conservatives thought that if I couldn't get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying-go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I'm trying to get ... I'll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future.
Ronald Reagan

I've talked to you on a number of occasions about the economic problems our nation faces, and I am prepared to tell you it's in a hell of a mess-we're not connected to the press room yet, are we?
Ronald Reagan

Bureaucracy is adept at protecting its nest.
Ronald Reagan
Image
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!
Ronald Reagan
Image
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
Ronald Reagan
Image
God, the source of our knowledge, has been expelled from the classroom. He gives us His greatest blessing, life, and yet many would condone the taking of innocent life. We expect Him to protect us in a crisis, but turn away from Him too often in our day-to-day living. I wonder if He isn't waiting for us to wake up.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The victims of crime have been transformed into a group oppressively burdened by a system designed to protect them.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
Ronald Reagan
Image
What we don't need is more spending, and what we don't need are taxes, and what we do need is a lot less of both.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I'm no linguist, but I have been told that in the Russian language, there isn't even a word for freedom.
Ronald Reagan
Image
For centuries the Bible's emphasis on compassion and love for our neighbor has inspired institutional and governmental expressions of benevolent outreach such as private charity, the establishment of schools and hospitals, and the abolition of slavery.
Ronald Reagan
Image
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth.

I'll be like Scarlett O'Hara-I'll think about it tomorrow.
