Ronald Reagan

I happen to believe that as the family goes, so goes the Nation.

America is still an eagle, and she's ready to soar again.

We don't have a deficit problem because the American people are not paying enough in taxes.

America must remain freedom's staunchest friend, for freedom is our staunchest ally.

We're going to bring deficits down, and we're going to bring them down the right way—with greater growth and spending restraint and not higher taxes.

Our progress cannot be complete until the dream is real for all.

This legislation will impose the discipline our government has so long lacked to control its insatiable appetite to spend.

Our hope lies in statesmen like President Bourguiba and King Hussein, President Mubarak and Prime Minister Peres.

This deficit has not—and I repeat, not—developed because of our tax cut.

The importance of the proposal to eliminate deficit spending can hardly be overstated.

There is no military option for resolving the difficult conflicts of the Middle East.

It is in the interest of the United States to impose certain restrictions on entry into the United States of officers or employees of the Government of Cuba or the Communist Party of Cuba.

I want you to know-and I'm serious about this—I've been watching New Jersey these past few years and seeing it as a bellwether for the national recovery.

Columbus exemplified a spirit which still inspires all Americans—a spirit of reaching out, expanding the frontiers of knowledge, a spirit of undaunted hope.

We must do everything necessary to protect the health of our mothers and children.

The great saving strength of democracy is that we can confront the truth about ourselves.

Every man should take unto himself a wife, because sooner or later something is bound to happen that you can't blame on the Governor.

We can take pride in the services provided and, especially, in the way they are provided.

The GOP is, in my view, the party of the American family.

New Jersey is in good shape; it's in great shape.

Much is at stake when we talk about the principles of our party.

It's our party that has worked for years now to get government spending down.

We cannot escape the simple truth that the budget process has failed nor will we avoid the harsh verdict of history if we cannot summon the political courage to put our national house in order and finally live within our means.

One of the reasons I like this Gramm-Rudman bill is because it attacks budget deficits the right way, not by raising taxes, but by restraining spending.

The Republican Party sees the challenges of the world with clear eyes and recognizes the difference between the totalitarians and the freedom fighters.
