Reagan on America

“This nation has no mission of mediocrity. We were never meant to be second-best.”

April 26, 1982

“This nation has no mission of mediocrity. We were never meant to be second-best. The spirit that built our country was bold, not timid. It was a spirit of pride, confidence, and courage that we could do anything. Well, we still can.”

— Remarks at the Annual Meeting of the United States Chamber of Commerce
