You cannot make an omelet without breaking some balls

I couldn't live without work. That's what makes me so sympathetic towards those people who are unemployed. I don't know how they live without working.

Citizenship should be based on those who have a close and real relationship with this country and its inhabitants.

When others spoke of the fear of war, you spoke of the need for warriors and peace through strength. When others bewailed the failure of big government to provide for the collective good, you spoke of self-reliance, of personal responsibility, of individual pride and integrity. When others preached compromise - when others demanded compromise, you, Ronald Reagan, preached conviction.

The role of Ronald Reagan had been deliberately diminished; the role of the Europeans, who, with the exception of Helmet Kohl, were often keen to undermine America when it mattered, had been sanitized; and the role of Mr. Gorbachev, who had failed spectacularly in his declared objective of saving communism and the Soviet Union, had been absurdly misunderstood.

Economics are the method; the object is to change the soul.

Political success is a good deal pleasanter than political failure, but it too brings its problems.
