More quotes by 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
The closest thing to eternal life on earth is a Government Program
Ronald Reagan
America has not been a story or a byword. That small community of Pilgrims prospered and, driven by the dreams and, yes, by the ideas of the Founding Fathers, went on to become a beacon to all the oppressed and poor of the world.
Ronald Reagan
I believe no challenge is more important to the character of America than restoring the right to life to all human beings.
Ronald Reagan
The economic welfare of all our people must ultimately stem not from government programs, but from the wealth created by a vigorous private sector.
Ronald Reagan
The Democrats say that the United States has had its days in the sun, that our nation has passed its zenith. They expect you to tell your children that the American people no longer have the will to cope with their problems, that the future will be one of sacrifice and few opportunities. My fellow citizens, I utterly reject that view.
Ronald Reagan
Bureaucracy is adept at protecting its nest.

Margaret Thatcher - this great lady has not only served her country well, she has served the free world well.
Ronald Reagan
The American people cannot close their eyes to abuses of human rights and injustice, whether they occur among friend or adversary or even on our own shores.
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
An actor knows two important things - to be honest in what he is doing and to be in touch with the audience. That's not bad advice for a politician either.
Ronald Reagan
These gentlemen are the moral equivalents of America's founding fathers.
Ronald Reagan
I, for one, resent it when a representative of the people refers to you and me, the free men and women of this country, as 'the masses.'
Ronald Reagan
Poverty is a career for lot's of well paid people
