Reagan on America

“One of my dreams is to help Americans rise above pessimism by renewing their belief in themselves.”

August 1, 1983

“One of my dreams is to help Americans rise above pessimism by renewing their belief in themselves. And I'm glad to say we are seeing a renewal of confidence in America. We're determined to build an agenda for opportunity on three pillars: excellence, equality, and growth -- economic growth.”

— Remarks at the Annual Meeting of the American Bar Association in Atlanta, Georgia
