Quotes

Reagan on Democracy, Foreign Policy, and National Security

We have come to this field to celebrate the triumph of an idea -- that freedom will eventually triumph over tyranny.

October 19, 1981

We have come to this field to celebrate the triumph of an idea -- that freedom will eventually triumph over tyranny. It is and always will be a warning to those who would usurp the rights of others: Time will find them beaten. The beacon of freedom shines here for all who will see, inspiring free men and captives alike, and no wall, no curtain, nor totalitarian state can shut it out.

Remarks at the Bicentennial Observance of the Battle of Yorktown in Virginia
