Today, Ronald Reagan is 100 years old. I say is, rather than would have been because his indominable spirit,patriotism and of the changes that he effected; he will be with us forever. I could go on but I think I'll let him say a few things and let y'all think back on how much of an impact he made with his words and actions.
A people free to choose will always choose peace.
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.
Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement.
But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.
Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty. Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
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
Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselvesGovernment is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
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 rearrange them.
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
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'.
If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.
There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
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.
Thank you and may God Bless
