"Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.""You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or 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."
"There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder."
"To sit back hoping that someday, someway, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last--but eat you he will."
"The ultimate determinant in the struggle now going on for the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas-a trial of spiritual resolve: the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish and the ideals to which we are dedicated."
"Coercion, after all, merely captures man. Freedom captivates him."
"Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States."
"Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit."
"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."
"If you're afraid of the future, then get out of the way, stand aside. The people of this country are ready to move again."
- Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004)
We miss you Mr. President!
