More quotes by Ronald Reagan
You'd be surprised how much being a good actor pays off.
Ronald Reagan
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
Ronald Reagan
I've always thought New Year's Day was an especially American tradition, full of the optimism and hope we're famous for in our daily lives -- an energy and confidence we call the American spirit. Perhaps because we know we control our own destiny, we believe deep down inside that working together we can make each new year better than the old.
Ronald Reagan
There's no question I am an idealist, which is another way of saying 'I am an American.'
Ronald Reagan
People do not make wars governments do.
Ronald Reagan
The societies which have achieved the most spectacular broad-based economic progress in the shortest period of time are not the most tightly controlled, not necessarily the biggest in size, or the wealthiest in natural resources. No, what unites them all is their willingness to believe in the magic of the marketplace.
Ronald Reagan
I'm beginning to wonder if the symbol of the United States pretty soon isn't going to be an ambassador with a flag under his arm climbing into an escape helicopter.
Ronald Reagan
Freedom-loving people around the world must say . . . I am a refugee in a crowded boat foundering off the coast of Vietnam. I am Laotian, a Cambodian, a Cuban, and a Miskito Indian in Nicaragua. I, too, am a potential victim of totalitarianism.
Ronald Reagan
I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.
Ronald Reagan
I have learned that one of the most important rules in politics is poise - which means looking like an owl after you have behaved like a jackass.
Ronald Reagan
Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong.
Ronald Reagan
I, in my own mind, have always thought of America as a place in the divine scheme of things that was set aside as a promised land...Any person with the courage, with the desire to tear up their roots, to strive for freedom, to attempt and dare to live in a strange and foreign place, to travel halfway across the world was welcome here.
Ronald Reagan
The American dream is not that every man must be level with every other man. The American dream is that every man must be free to become whatever God intends he should become.
Ronald Reagan
The future belongs to the free.
Ronald Reagan
I knew Thomas Jefferson. He was a friend of mine. And believe me, you are no Thomas Jefferson. (at 1992 Republican party convention, referring to Bill Clinton)
Ronald Reagan
For the average American, the message is clear. Liberalism is no longer the answer. It is the problem.
Ronald Reagan
With the right to bear arms comes a great responsibility to use caution and common sense on handgun purchases.
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
Piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose.
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
