Found this while browsing around, some are pretty good.

 

 

A few good quotes from a great 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 Commandment's 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

 

"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."

 

- Ronald Reagan

 

"The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program."

"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."

"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 so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.

 

- Ronald Reagan

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the

final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold

and are not clothed.

-- Dwight D. Eisenhower

 

Republicans want smaller government for the same reason crooks want fewer

cops: it's easier to get away with murder.

-- James Carville

 

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of

its creed.

-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

A liberal is a man who is right most of the time, but he's right too soon.

Author: Gregory Nunn

 

A man who has both feet planted firmly in the air can be safely called a liberal as opposed to the conservative, who has both feet firmly planted in his mouth.

Author: Jacques Barzun

 

"Restless is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress." -- Thomas A. Edison

 

"The only freedom which deserves the name, is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it." -- John Stuart Mill

 

"Those who seek power over all else are neither liberal nor conservative. They are simply morally and politically corrupt." -- Gus diZerega

 

"Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice." -- John Adams
