Ronald Reagan: “I ask you today to carry out your dreams and to continue to make this nation the greatest innovator in the world.”

But there's nothing I can say that would make the situation right.

If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.

I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.

Let us always take with us the spirit of vision, skill, and excellence.
