Through you, we feel as giants, once again.
Ronald Reagan
Image
When you start talking about government as 'we' instead of 'they,' you have been in office too long.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I deplore the tendency, in some institutions, to go directly toward training for a trade or profession or something and ignoring the liberal arts. It is the foundation of education.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution.
Ronald Reagan
Image
You'd be surprised how much being a good actor pays off.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Governments don't reduce deficits by raising taxes on the people governments reduce deficits by controlling spending and stimulating new wealth.
Ronald Reagan
Image
One day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
Ronald Reagan
Image
You hear a lot of jokes every once in a while about 'Silent Cal Coolidge.' The joke is on the people who make the jokes. Look at his record. He cut the taxes four times. We had probably the greatest growth and prosperity that we've ever known. I have taken heed of that because if he did that by doing nothing, maybe that's the answer.
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
Image
I think, too, that we've got to recognize that where the preservation of a natural resource like the redwoods is concerned, that there is a common sense limit. I mean, if you've looked at a hundred thousand acres or so of trees-you know, a tree is a tree, how many more do you need to look at? Opposing expansion of Redwood National Park.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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
Image
There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.
Ronald Reagan
Image
By emphasizing the importance of a common language, we safeguard a proud legacy and help to ensure that America's future will be as great as her past.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I don't know why anyone would want to study the expansion of the universe.
Ronald Reagan
Image
These young Americans sent a message to terrorists everywhere. . . . You can run but you can't hide.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Ronald Reagan
Image
Governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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.

Now back in 1927 an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program.
