Quotes

Reagan on America, Democracy, and Free Enterprise

We struggled for liberty in order to cherish it and defend it and transmit it undiminished to our children and theirs.

April 19, 1988

At our founding, we were promised the pursuit of happiness, not the myth of endless ecstasy from a vial of white poison. We won our personal freedom so that we could serve God and man, so that we could freely produce and create and build a nation of strong families, rich farms, and great cities. We struggled for liberty in order to cherish it and defend it and transmit it undiminished to our children and theirs.
