Die-hard conservatives thought that if I couldn't get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying-go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I'm trying to get ... I'll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future.

History comes and history goes, but principles endure, and ensure future generations will defend liberty not as a gift from government but as a blessing from our Creator.

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
Image
When a business or an individual spends more than it makes, it goes bankrupt. When government does it, it sends you the bill. And when government does it for 40 years, the bill comes in two ways: higher taxes and inflation. Make no mistake about it, inflation is a tax and not by accident.

Love your country, not for her power or wealth, but for her selflessness and her idealism.
Ronald Reagan
Image
A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours.
Ronald Reagan

When you start talking about government as 'we' instead of 'they,' you have been in office too long.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay the price.
Ronald Reagan

We can meet our destiny, and that destiny to build a land here that will be, for all mankind, a shining city on a hill.
