Reagan on Free Enterprise

Our society is inventive because we're free, and prosperous because each individual is secure to gather and keep the fruits of his labor.

February 7, 1986

Our society is inventive because we're free, and prosperous because each individual is secure to gather and keep the fruits of his labor. If we're ever mindful of our enduring principles -- the natural rights to life, liberty, and property, spoken of in your Virginia Bill of Rights -- then America will always be the shining star among nations, leading the world on to a better tomorrow.

Remarks to Students and Faculty at Thomas Jefferson High School of Science and Technology in Fairfax County, Virginia
