More quotes by Ronald Reagan
By 1980, we knew it was time to renew our faith, to strive with all our strength toward the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with an orderly society. We believed then and now there are no limits to growth and human progress when men and women are free to follow their dreams.
Ronald Reagan
Admittedly, there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face.
Ronald Reagan
Every new day begins with possibilities. It's up to us to fill it with the things that move us toward progress and peace.
Ronald Reagan
The frustrating thing is that those who are attacking religion claim they are doing it in the name of tolerance, freedom and openmindedness. Question: Isn't the real truth that they are intolerant of religion? They refuse to tolerate its importance in our lives.
Ronald Reagan
America has always been greatest when we dared to be great. We can reach for greatness again. We can follow our dreams to distant stars, living and working in space for peaceful, economic, and scientific gain. Tonight, I am directing NASA to develop a permanently manned space station, and to do it within a decade.
Ronald Reagan
We don't need more politicians insisting we have deficits because you're not taxed enough. Those deficits ballooned from an economy that didn't grow enough and from 50 years of government spending too much.
Ronald Reagan
Unless and until it can be proven that an unborn child is not a living human being, can we justify assuming without proof that it isn't? No one has yet offered such proof indeed, all the evidence is to the contrary.
Ronald Reagan
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
Ronald Reagan
If history teaches us anything, it teaches that simple-minded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly.
Ronald Reagan
I am very proud to be called a pig. It stands for pride, integrity and guts.
Ronald Reagan
I usually never walk by a microphone.
Ronald Reagan
We fought a war on poverty, and poverty won
Ronald Reagan
These young Americans sent a message to terrorists everywhere. . . . You can run but you can't hide.
Ronald Reagan
People don't start wars, governments do.
Ronald Reagan
During my first press conference as president, in answer to a direct question, I pointed out that, as good Marxist-Leninists, the Soviet leaders have openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is that which will further their cause, which is world revolution.
Ronald Reagan
Our leaders must remember that education doesn't begin with some isolated bureaucrat in Washington. It doesn't even begin with state or local officials. Education begins in the home, where it is a parental right and responsibility.
Ronald Reagan
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
Information is the oxygen of the modern age.
Ronald Reagan
America must remain freedom's staunchest friend, for freedom is our best ally and it is the world's only hope to conquer poverty and preserve peace.
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.
