Ronald Reagan: “Because we don't hide our mistakes, we're not condemned to repeat them.”

We have walked a long way together to clear a path for peace.

We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.

We understood the key to prosperity was low-inflationary growth, and we achieved it.

Let us remember that the Soviet preponderance in military power in Europe remains, an asymmetry that offends our Jeffersonian senses.
