More quotes by Ronald Reagan
We've been blessed with the opportunity to stand for something - for liberty and freedom and fairness. And these are things worth fighting for, worth devoting our lives to.
Ronald Reagan
America has always been greatest when we dared to be great. We can reach for greatness again. We can follow our dreams to distant stars, living and working in space for peaceful, economic, and scientific gain. Tonight, I am directing NASA to develop a permanently manned space station, and to do it within a decade.

Ronald Reagan
If we don't want to see the map of Central America covered in a sea of red, eventually lapping at our own borders, we must act now.
Ronald Reagan
. . . And always remember that you are Americans, and it is your birthright to dream great dreams in this sweet and blessed land, truly the greatest, freest, strongest nation on Earth.
Ronald Reagan
Presidents come and go. History comes and goes, but principles endure.
Ronald Reagan
Our National Motto - 'In God We Trust' - was not chosen lightly. It reflects a basic recognition that there is a divine authority in the universe to which this nation owes homage.
Ronald Reagan
Our American tradition of neighbor helping neighbor has always been one of our greatest strengths and most noble traditions.
Ronald Reagan
Government is not a solution to our problem government is the problem.
Ronald Reagan
America was founded by people who believe that God was their rock of safety. I recognize we must be cautious in claiming that God is on our side, but I think it's all right to keep asking if we're on His side.
Ronald Reagan
Bureaucracy is adept at protecting its nest.
Ronald Reagan
We have every right to dream heroic dreams.
