My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty's lamp guiding your steps and opportunity's arm steadying your way.

No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

You know, if Nancy Davis hadn't come along when she did, I would have lost my soul.

Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it's not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work - work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it.

We believe faith and freedom must be our guiding stars, for they show us truth, they make us brave, give us hope, and leave us wiser than we were.

The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved good-bye and 'slipped the surly bonds of earth' to 'touch the face of God.

If more government is the answer, then it was a really stupid question.
