Ronald Reagan:
If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.
If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn’t be here. It’d still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.
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.
Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.
Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.
We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.
We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule.
A people free to choose will always choose peace.
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose – somehow we win out.
If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.
Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
Recession is when a neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours.
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.
Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let’s not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.
I’ve never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a ‘fat cat’ and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a ‘public-spirited philanthropist’.
Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement.
Don’t be afraid to see what you see.
Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
Facts are stubborn things.
Man is not free unless government is limited.
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
The taxpayer – that’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
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.
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
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!
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.

History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.

My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.
How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.
I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I’m in a cabinet meeting.
If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state, because everybody would join the other party.
