I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.

The time has come to match outgo to income, instead of always doing it the other way around.

The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives.

We must realize that no arsenal or no weapon in arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have. It is a weapon that we as Americans do have. Let that be understood by those who practice terrorism and prey upon their neighbors. As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; We will not surrender for it, now or ever. We are Americans.

Our whole system of government is based on "We the people," but if we the people don't pay attention to what's going on, we have no right to bellyache or squawk when things go wrong.

Our reluctance for conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will.

Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
