Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
-- Ronald Reagan
They say the world has become too complex for simple answers.
They are wrong.
-- Ronald Reagan
Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation
away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance;
it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation,
for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom,
and then lost it, have never known it again.
-- Ronald Reagan
Whatever time I've got left now belongs to the Big Fella Upstairs.
-- Ronald Reagan
(spoke these words while recovering from gunshot wounds that
almost took his life while serving as President).
Our forbearance should never be misunderstood.
Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will.
When action is required to preserve our national security, we will act.
-- Ronald Reagan
There are no easy answers ... but there are simple answers.
We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.
-- Ronald Reagan
I thank you, thank you for inviting us here today. T
hank you for your kindness and your patience.
May God keep you, and may we, all of us, keep God."
-- Ronald Reagan

Why should we be frightened? No people who have ever lived
on this earth have fought harder, paid a higher price for freedom,
or done more to advance the dignity of man than the living Americans,
those Americans living in this land today.
-- Ronald Reagan
I'm convinced more than ever that man finds liberation only
when he binds himself to God and commits himself to his fellow man.
-- Ronald Reagan
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
-- Ronald Reagan - 40th President of the United States of America
Remarks at the Brandenburg Gate West Berlin, Germany June 12, 1987
"The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours.
It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age,
you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom.
We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."
-- Ronald Wilson Reagan ... February 6, 1911--June 5, 2004
