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

I hope the people on Wall Street will pay attention to the people on Main Street. If they do, they will see there is a rising tide of confidence in the future of America.
Ronald Reagan

Without God, there is no virtue because there is no prompting of the conscience... without God, there is a coarsening of the society without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I believe in a sound, strong environmental policy that protects the health of our people and a wise stewardship of our nation's natural resources.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I'm proud of having been one of the first to recognize that states and the federal government have a duty to protect our natural resources from the damaging effects of pollution that can accompany industrial development.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We have to realize that this country in its private sector has been fighting the most successful war on poverty the world has seen for the last 200 years.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution.
Ronald Reagan

Our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring democracy the tolerance it requires to survive
