More quotes by Ronald Reagan

No longer must government be allowed to ride roughshod, absorbing the people's wealth, usurping their rights, and crushing their spirit.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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
Image
Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We establish no religion in this country. We command no worship. We mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are and must remain separate.
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.

Revenues should be increased not by increasing the tax rates on the individual but by building a bigger economy for everybody.
Ronald Reagan

They are our brothers, these freedom fighters.... They are the moral equal of our Founding Fathers and the brave men and women of the French Resistance. We cannot turn away from them, for the struggle here is not right versus left it is right versus wrong.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Our goals are the same as those of the U.N.'s founders, who sought to replace a world at war with one where the rule of law would prevail, where human rights were honored, where development would blossom, where conflict would give way to freedom from violence.
Ronald Reagan
Image
As two proud and independent peoples, there is much that distinguishes us one from the other, but there is also much that we share: a vast continent, with its common hardships and uncommon duties generations of mutual respect and support, and an abiding friendship that grows ever stronger.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Freedom is the very essence of our nation. To be sure, ours is not a perfect nation. But even with our troubles, we remain the beacon of hope for oppressed peoples everywhere. Never give up the fight for freedom - a fight which, though it may never end, is the most ennobling known to man.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Simple morality dictates that unless and until someone can prove the unborn human is not alive, we must give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it is (alive). And, thus, it should be entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers: Go ahead, make my day.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I think the presidency is an institution over which you have temporary custody.
Ronald Reagan

The closest thing to eternal life on earth is a Government Program
Ronald Reagan
Image
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
For a time, we forgot the American dream isn't one of making government bigger, it's keeping faith with the mighty spirit of free people under God
Ronald Reagan
Image
Government is the people's business and every man, woman and child becomes a shareholder with the first penny of tax paid.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes, they just don't know where to look.
Ronald Reagan
Image
There is no security, no safety, in the appeasement of evil.
Ronald Reagan

Government is not the answer to the problem - it IS the problem.
