America needs jobs and opportunity, not make-work and handouts.
Ronald Reagan
The . . . inescapable truth is: government does not have all the answers. In too many instances, government does not solve problems it subsidizes them.
Ronald Reagan
The First Continental Congress made its first act a prayer, the beginning of a great tradition. We have then a lesson from the founders of our land. That lesson is clear: That in the winning of freedom and in the living of life, the first step is prayer.
Ronald Reagan
. . . Government should do only those things the people cannot do for themselves.
Ronald Reagan
Environmental extremists ... wouldn't let you build a house unless it looked like a bird's nest.

Ronald Reagan
I think all of us are agreed that war is probably man's greatest stupidity and I think peace is the dream that lives in the heart of everyone wherever he may be in the world, but unfortunately, unlike a family quarrel, it doesn't take two to make a war. It only takes one, unless the other one is prepared to surrender at the first hint of force.
Ronald Reagan
May every day be a new beginning, and every dawn bring us closer to that shining city upon a hill.
Ronald Reagan
Poland is at the center of European civilization. It has contributed mightily to that civilization. It is doing so today by being magnificently unreconciled to oppression. Poland's struggle to be Poland and to secure the basic rights we often take for granted, demonstrates why we dare not take those rights for granted.
Ronald Reagan
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.
Ronald Reagan
For centuries the Bible's emphasis on compassion and love for our neighbor has inspired institutional and governmental expressions of benevolent outreach such as private charity, the establishment of schools and hospitals, and the abolition of slavery.
Ronald Reagan
We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion, but what's important.
Ronald Reagan
What's happening in Cuba is not a failure of the Cuban people. It's a failure of Fidel Castro and the Communists.
