Even now I wonder what I might have accomplished if I'd studied harder

We've gone astray from first principles. We've lost sight of the rule that individual freedom and ingenuity are at the very core of everything that we've accomplished. Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Ronald Reagan
Image
If no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capcity to govern someone else.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Ronald Reagan
Image

Ronald Reagan
Image
People who think a tax boost will cure inflation are the same ones who believe another drink will cure a hangover.

Meanwhile, what about the workers in those state monopolies that are being put up for sale? I am reminded of a technique for employee ownership that has worked well for many U.S. companies. It goes by various names, but the best known is Employee Stock Ownership Program, or ESOP.
Ronald Reagan

They've done away with those committees. That shows the success of what the Soviets were able to do in this country.

I don't know why anyone would want to study the expansion of the universe.

Government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Well, I think there has to be some (gun) control.
Ronald Reagan

Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. No serious scholar, including one disposed to agree with the Court's result, has argued that the framers of the Constitution intended to create such a right.
Ronald Reagan
Image
No longer must government be allowed to ride roughshod, absorbing the people's wealth, usurping their rights, and crushing their spirit.

Our leaders must remember that education doesn't begin with some isolated bureaucrat in Washington. It doesn't even begin with state or local officials. Education begins in the home, where it is a parental right and responsibility.
