04UndatedFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.Ronald Reagan / quote ↗
05UndatedThere is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit.Ronald Reagan / quote ↗

16UndatedMore than a decade ago, a Supreme Court decision literally wiped off the books of fifty states statutes protecting the rights of unborn children. Abortion on demand now takes the lives of up to 1.5 million unborn children a year. Human life legislation ending this tragedy will some day pass the Congress, and you and I must never rest until it does. Unless and until it can be proven that the unborn child is not a living entity, then its right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness must be protected.Ronald Reagan / quote ↗
17UndatedOur government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring democracy the tolerance it requires to surviveRonald Reagan / quote ↗
19UndatedOf the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.Ronald Reagan / quote ↗
20UndatedIf you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals — if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.Ronald Reagan / quote ↗
21UndatedSomeday, the realm of liberty and justice will encompass the planet. Freedom is not just the birthright of the few, it is the God-given right of all His children, in every country. It won't come by conquest. It will come, because freedom is right and freedom works. It will come, because cooperation and good will among free people will carry the day.Ronald Reagan / quote ↗
22UndatedIf there's one observation that rings true in today's changing world, it is that freedom and peace go hand in hand.Ronald Reagan / quote ↗
23UndatedIf we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.Ronald Reagan / quote ↗
24UndatedYou and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.Ronald Reagan / quote ↗
