Ronald Reagan
The difference between them and us is that we want to check government spending and they want to spend government checks.
Ronald Reagan
Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas.
Ronald Reagan
I hope Americans will read and study the Bible in the coming year. It's my firm belief that the enduring values, as I say, presented in its pages have a great meaning for each of us and for our nation.
Ronald Reagan
There is nothing wrong with America that Americans can't fix.
Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan
Our military strength is a prerequisite to peace, but let it be clear we maintain this strength in the hope it will never be used.
Ronald Reagan

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
The United States trades more with the province of Ontario alone than with Japan.
Ronald Reagan
We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion, but what's important.
Ronald Reagan
Wouldn't it be better for the human spirit and for the soul of this nation to encourage people to accept more responsibility to care for each other rather than leaving those tasks to paid bureaucrats.
Ronald Reagan
A bird on a tether, no matter how long the rope, can always be pulled back.
Ronald Reagan
Now, I happen to be an optimist.
Ronald Reagan
If you think you can - you can!
Ronald Reagan
One hundred nations in the UN have not agreed with us on just about everything that's come before them, where we're involved, and it didn't upset my breakfast at all.
Ronald Reagan
