Ronald Reagan: “I think the imbalance of forces, for example, on the Western front, in the NATO line—we are vastly outdistanced there.”

We have not come this far through lack of strength or any weakness in our resolve, nor has there been anything inevitable about what we've achieved.

Each of us can give young people the good example of reading ourselves.

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