Ronald Reagan

America is too great for small dreams.

I've heard that hard work never killed anyone, but I say why take the chance?

I have left orders to be awakened at any time during national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting.

The future doesn't belong to the light-hearted. It belongs to the brave.

Status quo, you know, is Latin for 'the mess we're in'.

Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be one nation gone under.

I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.
