More quotes by Ronald Reagan
Government Steals from the needy and gives to the greedy
Ronald Reagan
Our spirit is back, but we haven't reinstitutionalized it. We've got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom - freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It's fragile it needs production [protection].
Ronald Reagan
Anyone that's ever had their kitchen done over knows that it never never gets done as soon as you wish it would.
Ronald Reagan
The other day, someone told me the difference between a democracy and a people's democracy. It's the same difference between a jacket and a straitjacket.
Ronald Reagan
Permanent brain damage is one of the inevitable results of the use of marijuana.
Ronald Reagan
There are some who've forgotten why we have a military. It's not to promote war. It's to be prepared for peace. There's a sign over the entrance to the Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington state, and that sign says it all: 'Peace is our profession'.
Ronald Reagan
Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide.
Ronald Reagan
I've never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a 'fat cat' and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a 'public-spirited philanthropist'.
Ronald Reagan

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
Education is like a diamond with many facets: It includes the basic mastery of numbers and letters that give us access to the treasury of human knowledge, accumulated and refined through the ages it includes technical and vocational training as well as instruction in science, higher mathematics, and humane letters.
Ronald Reagan
I sometimes think if someone appealed the Ten Commandments to some of our courts, they would rule - 'Thou shalt not, unless you feel strongly to the contrary'.
Ronald Reagan
For the first time ever, everything is in place for the Battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ.
Ronald Reagan
They don't worship at the altar of forced busing and mandatory quotas. They don't believe you can remedy past discrimination by mandating new discrimination. (Defending his nominees for Civil Rights Commission)
Ronald Reagan
I think the presidency is an institution over which you have temporary custody.
Ronald Reagan
When PLO sniper fire is followed by 14 hours of Israeli bombardment, that's stretching the definition of defensive action too far.
Ronald Reagan
The most fundamental paradox is that if we're never to use force, we must be prepared to use it and to use it successfully. We Americans don't want war and we don't start fights. We don't maintain a strong military force to conquer or coerce others. The purpose of our military is simple and straightforward: we want to prevent war.
Ronald Reagan
The bill's a textbook example of special interest pork barrel politics at work, and I have no choice but to veto it.
Ronald Reagan
A bird on a tether, no matter how long the rope, can always be pulled back.
Ronald Reagan
By working together, pooling our resources and building on our strengths, we can accomplish great things.
Ronald Reagan
