More quotes by Ronald Reagan
The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
Ronald Reagan
You get a little stir crazy during the week.
Ronald Reagan
Church and state are, and must remain, separate.
Ronald Reagan
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
To say Congress is spending like drunken sailors is an insult to drunken sailors.
Ronald Reagan
Elvis epitomised America, and for that we shall be eternally grateful. There will never be anyone else like him. Let's all rejoice in his music.
Ronald Reagan
Environmental extremists ... wouldn't let you build a house unless it looked like a bird's nest.
Ronald Reagan
I have seen the rise of fascism and communism. Both philosophies glorify the arbitrary power of the state... But both theories fail. Both deny those God-given liberties that are the inalienable right of each person on this planet, indeed, they deny the existence of God.
Ronald Reagan
No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.
Ronald Reagan
Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Ronald Reagan
We desire peace. But peace is a goal, not a policy. Lasting peace is what we hope for at the end of our journey. It doesn't describe the steps we must take nor the paths we should follow to reach that goal.
Ronald Reagan
If we get the federal government out of the classroom, maybe we'll get God back in.
Ronald Reagan
We're in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.
Ronald Reagan
The fact is, we'll never build a lasting economic recovery by going deeper into debt at a faster rate than we ever have before.
Ronald Reagan
We can't build a safer world with honorable intentions and good will alone. Achieving the fundamental goals our nation seeks in world affairs - peace, human rights, economics progress national independence and international stability - means supporting our friends and defending our interests.
Ronald Reagan
Too often character assassination has replaced debate in principle here in Washington. Destroy someone's reputation, and you don't have to talk about what he stands for.
Ronald Reagan
Yes, deficits are a problem. I've been saying so for more than a quarter of a century now. But the problem is not the size of the deficit, it's the size of government's claim on our economy.
Ronald Reagan
I believe with all my heart that our first priority must be world peace, and that use of force is always and only a last resort, when everything else has failed, and then only with regard to our national security.
Ronald Reagan
Could there be anything but widespread misery, where a privileged few controlled a nation's wealth, while millions labored for a pittance, and millions more were desperate for want of employment?
Ronald Reagan
Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge, it's common sense.
Ronald Reagan
