“There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.”
Ronald Reagan“Question: Which Mediterranean government shares all of Ronald Reagan's views on international terrorism, the present danger of Soviet advance, the hypocrisy of the United Nations, the unreliability of Europe, the perfidy of the Third World and the need for nuclear defense policy? Question: Which Mediterranean government is Ronald Reagan trying, with the help of George Shultz and Caspar Weinberger, to replace with a government led by a party which professes socialism and which contains extreme leftists?If you answered 'the government of Israel' to both of the above, you know more about political and international irony than the President does.”
Christopher Hitchens“Reagan understood an important distinction that (Lyndon) Johnson never grasped: being in control and being successful aren't always the same thing.”
Jonathan Darman, Landslide: LBJ and Ronald Reagan at the Dawn of a New America“Prepare yourself for some bad news: Ronald Reagan’s library just burned down. Both books were destroyed. But the real horror: He hadn’t finished coloring either one of them.”
Gore Vidal“Inrealized how valuable the art and practice of writing letters are, and how important it is to remind people of what a treasure letters--handwritten letters--can be. In our throwaway era of quick phone calls, faxes, and email, it's all to easy never to find the time to write letters. That's a great pity--for historians and the rest of us.”
Nancy Reagan, I Love You, Ronnie: The Letters of Ronald Reagan to Nancy Reagan“The future doesn't belong to the light-hearted. It belongs to the brave.”
Ronald Reagan“Just think how happy you'd be if you lost everything you have right now & then got it back.”
Ronald Reagan“More 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.”
