I SURE MISS THIS GUY!!!!!!


From Corrine.


I agree.

There are not many people in government that I like.

I like this guy.


One of my favorite Ronald Reagan quotes showed his old fashioned smarts and was only three words long.


"Trust, but verify."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I knew there was a reason I always liked him. How wise he was!!!

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


"I've laid down the law, though, to everyone from now on about anything that happens: no matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting." - 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
