Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge, it's common sense.
Ronald Reagan
Image
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
Image
When the Commander-in-Chief of a nation finds it necessary to order employees of the government or agencies of the government to do things that would technically break the law, he has to be able to declare it legal for them to do that.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Our whole system of government is based on We the people, but if we the people don't pay attention to what's going on, we have no right to bellyache or squawk when things go wrong.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I do not feel betrayed. ... He has a fine record. He is a national hero. (On Oliver L North's work)
Ronald Reagan
Image
Were not cutting the budget simply for the sake of sounder financial management. This is only a first step toward returning power to the states and communities, only a first step toward reordering the relationship between citizen and government.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Man is not free unless government is limited.
Ronald Reagan
Image
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!
Ronald Reagan

Revolution means democracy in today's world, not the enslavement of peoples to the corrupt and degrading horrors of totalitarianism
Ronald Reagan
Image
The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of these United States are covenants we have made not only with ourselves, but with all mankind. Our founding documents proclaim to the world that freedom is not the sole prerogative of a chosen few. It is the universal right of all God's children.
Ronald Reagan
Image
If we don't want to see the map of Central America covered in a sea of red, eventually lapping at our own borders, we must act now.

The future belongs to the free.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We the people tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us.
Ronald Reagan

This administration is totally colorblind.
Ronald Reagan

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I've often wondered about the shyness of some of us in the West about standing for these ideals that have done so much to ease the plight of man and the hardships of our imperfect world. Let us be shy no longer. Let us go to our strength. Let us offer hope. Let us tell the world that a new age is not only possible, but probable.

There is no security, no safety, in the appeasement of evil.
Ronald Reagan
Image
The Federalist Society is changing the culture of our nation's law schools. You are returning the values and concepts of law as our founders understood them to scholarly dialogue, and through that dialogue, to our legal institutions.
Ronald Reagan

America has always been greatest when we dared to be great. We can reach for greatness again. We can follow our dreams to distant stars, living and working in space for peaceful, economic, and scientific gain. Tonight, I am directing NASA to develop a permanently manned space station, and to do it within a decade.
