Reagan on Democracy, and America

“The wisdom held that the final resting place of power was in the hands not of the government but of the people.”

October 4, 1982

“Well, this country was born of an ancient dream and then was nourished by a new wisdom. The dream envisioned a place on this Earth where people of all classes and kinds could live together in peace and freedom. The wisdom held that the final resting place of power was in the hands not of the government but of the people.”
