RONALD REAGAN
I guess I'll start off with a very quick and easy post, just to get this bad boy started ...
Today is the 25th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's first inauguration. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the Great Communicator's speech that day:
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."
"We are a nation that has a government - not the other way around."
"If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay the price."
"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. It is a weapon that we as Americans do have. Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors."
