Didn't realize just how much he's missed, until I read and remembered some of the stuff he said... And stood for.
'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.'
- Ronald Reagan
'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'
;
- Ronald Reagan
'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.'
- Ronald Reagan
'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. Was too strong.'
- Ronald Reagan
'I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.'
- Ronald Reagan
'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'
- Ronald Reagan
'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.'
- Ronald Reagan
'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.'
- Ronald Reagan
'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.'
- Ronald Reagan
'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.'
- Ronald Reagan
'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.'
- Ronald Reagan
'No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.'
- Ronald Reagan
'If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.'
- Ronald Reagan

A great man. He was more then just a conservative republican.
He and his wife, Nancy, made a great team in the White House...

It took a Jimmy Carter to give us a Ronald Reagan. Ah, the short cycles of history.
