Reagan on Democracy

“Don't let today's doomcriers and cynics persuade you that the best is past, that from here on it's all downhill.”

May 17, 1981

“May I suggest, don't discard the time-tested values upon which civilization was built simply because they're old. More important, don't let today's doomcriers and cynics persuade you that the best is past, that from here on it's all downhill.”

— Address at Commencement Exercises at the University of Notre Dame
