FAMOUS QUOTES FROM THE GIPPER HIMSELF



The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Ronald Reagan


I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life.

Ronald Reagan

Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.

Ronald Reagan


Man is not free unless government is limited.

Ronald Reagan


Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.

Ronald Reagan


Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.

Ronald Reagan


I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts
Ronald Reagan



Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.

Ronald Reagan


"We the people" tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us. "We the people" are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which "We the people" tell the government what it is allowed to do. "We the people" are free.
Ronald Reagan
