Quotes

Reagan on Democracy, and America

We are a government of, by, and for the people, not the other way around.

August 19, 1984

We're strong because we still believe in a bedrock principle: We are a government of, by, and for the people, not the other way around. And we're strong because we know that true greatness begins with the deepest treasures of the human spirit, with faith and courage, with loyalty and love, with a quiet, unselfish devotion to our families, our neighbors, and our nation.

Remarks at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia
