Reagan on Free Enterprise

“The key to rebuilding communities is individual initiative, leadership, personal responsibility.”

January 14, 1982

“The key to rebuilding communities is individual initiative, leadership, personal responsibility. If we encourage these qualities in our people -- and especially in our young people -- then our freedoms will not wither and die. They will blossom and permit us to reach for our dreams, to go as far as our God-given talents will take us.”

— Remarks at the New York City Partnership Luncheon in New York
