RONALD REAGAN
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.'- RonaldReagan 'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' - RonaldReagan 'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.' - RonaldReagan 'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S.was too strong.' - RonaldReagan '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.' - RonaldReagan 'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.' - RonaldReagan 'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.' - RonaldReagan 'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.' - RonaldReagan '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.' - RonaldReagan 'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.' - RonaldReagan '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.' - RonaldReagan 'If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.' -RonaldReagan

As to that leisure evening of life, I must say that I do not want it. I can conceive of no contentment of which toil is not to be the immediate parent. --------------- Don't let love interfere with your appetite. It never does with mine. --------------- He must have known me if he had seen me as he was wont to see me, for he was in the habit of flogging me constantly. Perhaps he did not recognize me by my face. --------------- I hold that gentleman to be the best-dressed whose dress no one observes. --------------- Love is like any other luxury. You have no right to it unless you can afford it. --------------- Marvelous is the power which can be exercised, almost unconsciously, over a company, or an individual, or even upon a crowd by one person gifted with good temper, good digestion, good intellects, and good looks. --------------- No man thinks there is much ado about nothing when the ado is about himself. --------------- Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early. --------------- The habit of reading is the only enjoyment in which there is no alloy; it lasts when all other pleasures fade. --------------- The satirist who writes nothing but satire should write but little - or it will seem that his satire springs rather from his own caustic nature than from the sins of the world in which he lives. --------------- They are best dressed, whose dress no one observes.
