"To do whatever needs to be done..." - Quote by Ronald Reagan

“After watching the State of the Union address the other night [1994], I'm reminded of the old adage that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Only in this case, it's not flattery, but grand larceny: the intellectual theft of ideas that you and I recognize as our own. Speech delivery counts for little on the world stage unless you have convictions, and, yes, the vision to see beyond the front row seats.”

“When you start talking about government as 'we' instead of 'they,' you have been in office too long.”

“I'm not a politician by profession. I am a citizen who decided I had to be personally involved.”

“The only liberty an inferior man really cherishes is the liberty to quit work, stretch out in the sun, and scratch himself.”

“Responsibility is a tremendous engine in a free government.”

“As soon as extreme attachment comes, a man loses himself, he is no more master of himself, he is a slave.”

“Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old.”

“I feel most emphatically that we should not turn into shingles a tree which was old when the first Egyptian conqueror penetrated to the valley of the Euphrates.”

“The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.”
