Reagan on Democracy, America, and Heroism

“We learned then that the God-given love of freedom that fills every human heart with strength is the greatest force the world has ever known. No empire, no tyrant, no ruling party can resist it forever.”

October 25, 1988

“More than 200 years ago, Americans came out from 'every Middlesex village and farm,' and from villages and farms all over the 13 Colonies, to face the greatest imperial army in the world -- and to defeat it. We learned then that the God-given love of freedom that fills every human heart with strength is the greatest force the world has ever known. No empire, no tyrant, no ruling party can resist it forever.”
