Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Ronald Reagan
Image
When a business or an individual spends more than it makes, it goes bankrupt. When government does it, it sends you the bill. And when government does it for 40 years, the bill comes in two ways: higher taxes and inflation. Make no mistake about it, inflation is a tax and not by accident.

I just don't think it's good for us to be run out of town. (Refusing to cancel Secretary of State visit to Moscow)
Ronald Reagan

If you owe the bank $10,000 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $10,000,000 they have a problem. After all is said and done, more is said than done. Government does not solve problems it subsidizes them.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We must be cautious in claiming God is on our side. I think the real question we must answer is, are we on His side?
Ronald Reagan
Image
The First Continental Congress made its first act a prayer, the beginning of a great tradition. We have then a lesson from the founders of our land. That lesson is clear: That in the winning of freedom and in the living of life, the first step is prayer.
Ronald Reagan
Image
One day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
Ronald Reagan

Middle age is when you're faced with two temptations and you choose the one that will get you home by nine o'clock.
Ronald Reagan
Image
If there's one observation that rings true in today's changing world, it is that freedom and peace go hand in hand.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Could there be anything resembling a free enterprise economy, if wealth and property were concentrated in the hands of a few, while the great majority owned little more than the shirts on their backs?
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.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I'm convinced that today the majority of Americans want what those first Americans wanted: A better life for themselves and their children a minimum of government authority.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I would have voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Ronald Reagan

A people free to choose will always choose peace.
Ronald Reagan
Image
A truly successful army is one that, because of its strength and ability and dedication, will not be called upon to fight, for no one will dare to provoke it.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Our goals are the same as those of the U.N.'s founders, who sought to replace a world at war with one where the rule of law would prevail, where human rights were honored, where development would blossom, where conflict would give way to freedom from violence.
Ronald Reagan
Image
We've gone astray from first principles. We've lost sight of the rule that individual freedom and ingenuity are at the very core of everything that we've accomplished. Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Ronald Reagan
Image
There's no question I am an idealist, which is another way of saying 'I am an American.'
Ronald Reagan
Image
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
Image
Meaningful work, not welfare, is every American's hope, and we have a continuing responsibility to make those hopes a lasting reality.
