Remembering a great president

I recently received an email from a friend at work. It had quotes from the great Ronald Reagan. I thought I'd share these quotes with you. I miss this man.

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.

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
