Quotes

Reagan on Democracy, America, and Foreign Policy

Peace fails when we forget what we stand for.

November 11, 1985

Peace fails when we forget what we stand for. It fails when we forget that our Republic is based on firm principles, principles that have real meaning, that with them, we are the last, best hope of man on Earth; without them, we're little more than the crust of a continent.

Remarks at the Veterans Day Wreath-Laying Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery
