Reagan on Freedom, Democracy, and Strength

“Once during the campaign, I said, 'This is a wonderful time to be alive.' And I meant that. I meant that we're lucky not to live in pale and timid times. We've been blessed with the opportunity to stand for something -- for liberty and freedom and fairness. And these are things worth fighting for, worth devoting our lives to. And we have good reason to be hopeful and optimistic.”
