More quotes by Ronald Reagan
It ought to be remembered by all [that] the Games more than 2,000 years ago started as a means of bringing peace between the Greek city-states. And in those days, even if a war was going on, they called off the war in order to hold the Games. I wish we were still as civilized.
Ronald Reagan
If it's to be a bloodbath, let it be now. Appeasement is not the answer.
Ronald Reagan
As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it, we will not surrender for it - now or ever.
Ronald Reagan
The closest thing to eternal life on earth is a Government Program
Ronald Reagan
I am very proud to be called a pig. It stands for pride, integrity and guts.
Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan
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.
Ronald Reagan
We speak with pride and admiration of that little band of Americans who overcame insuperable odds to set this nation on course 200 years ago. But our glory didn't end with them. Americans ever since have emulated their deeds.
Ronald Reagan
The more the plans fail, the more the planners plan.
Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan
Individual liberty depends upon keeping government under control.
Ronald Reagan
If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.
Ronald Reagan
Trust the people -- that is the crucial lesson of history.
Ronald Reagan
There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.
Ronald Reagan
I have always thought of government as a kind of organism with an insatiable appetite for money, whose natural state is to grow forever unless you do something to starve it.
Ronald Reagan
It is the Soviet Union that runs against the tide of history . . . . [It is] the march of freedom and democracy which will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history, as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people.
Ronald Reagan
May every day be a new beginning, and every dawn bring us closer to that shining city upon a hill.
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
We have found, in our country, that when people have the right to make decisions as close to home as possible, they usually make the right decisions.
Ronald Reagan
We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
Ronald Reagan
