Reagan on America

“You can hear the sound of its beat. You're aware of its great depth and steady strength.”

September 18, 1981

“I don't know whether I can explain or Nancy can explain what we feel living there in that great historic house. In Washington, surrounded and imbued with that history, there are moments when you feel that you're very close to the great heart of America. You can hear the sound of its beat. You're aware of its great depth and steady strength.”

— Remarks in Denver, Colorado, at the Biennial Convention of the National Federation of Republican Women
