More quotes by Ronald Reagan
I think, too, that we've got to recognize that where the preservation of a natural resource like the redwoods is concerned, that there is a common sense limit. I mean, if you've looked at a hundred thousand acres or so of trees-you know, a tree is a tree, how many more do you need to look at? Opposing expansion of Redwood National Park.
Ronald Reagan
One picture is worth 1,000 denials.
Ronald Reagan
We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow
Ronald Reagan
I've been told that some members of Congress disagree with my tax cut proposal. Well, you know it's been said that taxation is the art of plucking feathers without killing the bird. It's time they realized the bird just doesn't have any feathers left.
Ronald Reagan
The victims of crime have been transformed into a group oppressively burdened by a system designed to protect them.
Ronald Reagan
When people tell me that I became President on January 20th, 1981, I feel I have to correct them. You don't become President of the United States. You are given temporary custody of an institution called the Presidency, which belongs to our people.
Ronald Reagan
Let us not forget who we are. Drug abuse is a repudiation of everything America is.
Ronald Reagan
I'm convinced that today the majority of Americans want what those first Americans wanted: A better life for themselves and their children a minimum of government authority.
Ronald Reagan
One of mankind's problems is we keep committing the same errors.
Ronald Reagan
We are participating in the orderly transfer of administrative authority by the direction of the people. And this is the simple magic which makes a commonplace routine a near miracle to many of the world
Ronald Reagan
Our enemies may be irrational, even outright insane, driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology. They do not fear the United States for its diplomatic skills or the number of automobiles and software programs it produces. They respect only the firepower of our tanks, planes and helicopter gunships.
Ronald Reagan
Presidents come and go. History comes and goes, but principles endure.
Ronald Reagan
To this day, America is still the abiding alternative to tyranny. This is our purpose in the world, nothing more and nothing less.
Ronald Reagan
Certain forms of ammunition have no legitimate sporting, recreational, or self-defense use and thus should be prohibited.
Ronald Reagan
Do what's right and you'll please some of the people and astound the rest.
Ronald Reagan
Those who advocate more and more government regulation have been experimenting for 40 years, trying to create an economic system in which everyone can somehow be made more prosperous by the toil of someone else.
Ronald Reagan
I don't think any of us should forget that the security of America is our highest responsibility.
Ronald Reagan
Through the history of our nation, Americans have always extended their hands in gestures of assistance.
Ronald Reagan
A small nation, faced with the denial of its sovereignty — indeed, of its very existence — reminded us that the price of freedom is high but never so costly as the loss of freedom.
Ronald Reagan
Today, we're taking a break from the concerns and the bustle of the work-a-day world. But we're also making a new beginning. As we gather around our dining room tables for the midday meal, let us thank God for life and the blessings He's put before us. High among them are our families, our freedom, and the opportunities of a new year.
Ronald Reagan
