Quote

We could say the government spend like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors, because the sailors are spending their own money.

In a world wracked by hatred, economic crisis, and political tension, America remains mankind's best hope.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow
Ronald Reagan
Image
The societies which have achieved the most spectacular broad-based economic progress in the shortest period of time are not the most tightly controlled, not necessarily the biggest in size, or the wealthiest in natural resources. No, what unites them all is their willingness to believe in the magic of the marketplace.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I oppose registration for the draft... because I believe the security of freedom can best be achieved by security through freedom.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Let us remember with devotion that the flag we love and honor is the flag of freedom that flew in victory at Yorktown, the flag the United States Marines raised on Mount Suribachi, the flag Francis Scott Key saw by the dawn's early light. Long may it wave.
Ronald Reagan

I believe the highest aspiration of man should be individual freedom and the development of the individual.
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.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We have every right to dream heroic dreams.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
Ronald Reagan
Image
This crime against humanity must never be forgotten.
Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan
Image
Over hundred years ago Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act. There was wide distribution of land and they didn't confiscate anyone's privately owned land... We need an industrial Homestead Act.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The most fundamental paradox is that if we're never to use force, we must be prepared to use it and to use it successfully. We Americans don't want war and we don't start fights. We don't maintain a strong military force to conquer or coerce others. The purpose of our military is simple and straightforward: we want to prevent war.
Ronald Reagan
Image
It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We were poor when I was young but the difference was that the government didn't come around telling you you were poor.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We're the party that wants to see an America in which people can still get rich.
Ronald Reagan
Image
There are some who've forgotten why we have a military. It's not to promote war. It's to be prepared for peace. There's a sign over the entrance to the Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington state, and that sign says it all: 'Peace is our profession'.

America is to great to dream small dreams.

If it's to be a bloodbath, let it be now. Appeasement is not the answer.
