Reagan on Democracy

“Instead our focus should be on the enduring fundamental principles of life that ennoble mankind.”

November 4, 1991

“Together we gather for a single purpose, to give to the American people in the world a Presidential library. There is understandably a great temptation to look back, to remember, to share warm and fond memories and to reflect on the events that have brought here. And as we do, I hope we do not unduly focus on one man, one political party or even one country. Instead our focus should be on the enduring fundamental principles of life that ennoble mankind.”
