More quotes by Ronald Reagan
Our policy is simple: We are not going to betray our friends, reward the enemies of freedom, or permit fear and retreat to become American policies — especially in this hemisphere. None of the four wars in my lifetime came about because we were too strong.
Ronald Reagan
In 1939 Winston Churchill, describing the 5000-mile peaceful border dividing Canada and the United States, said, 'That long frontier from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, guarded only by neighborly respect and honorable obligations, is an example to every country and a pattern for the future of the world.
Ronald Reagan
All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk.

Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work - work with us, not over us to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it foster productivity, not stifle it.
Ronald Reagan
For one, we very much need in any immigration bill - we need protection for people who are in this country and who have not become citizens, for example, that they are protected and legitimized and given permanent residency here.

I am told that tens of thousands of prayer meetings are being held on this day for that I am deeply grateful. We are a nation under God, and I believe God intended for us to be free. It would be fitting and good, I think, if on each inaugural day in future years it should be declared a day of prayer.
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
The frustrating thing is that those who are attacking religion claim they are doing it in the name of tolerance, freedom and openmindedness. Question: Isn't the real truth that they are intolerant of religion? They refuse to tolerate its importance in our lives.
Ronald Reagan
One of mankind's problems is we keep committing the same errors.
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'm not a politician by profession. I am a citizen who decided I had to be personally involved.
Ronald Reagan
Inside the Bible's pages lie the answers to all the problems that mankind has ever known. I hope Americans will read and study the Bible.
Ronald Reagan
America is to great to dream small dreams.
Ronald Reagan
The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.
Ronald Reagan
There are simple answers to the nation's problems, but not easy ones.
Ronald Reagan
America stands unique in the world: the only country not founded on race but on a way, an ideal. Not in spite of but because of our polyglot background, we have had all the strength in the world. That is the American way.
Ronald Reagan
When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.
Ronald Reagan
I would have voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Ronald Reagan
If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.
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.
