"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

"My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever.

The bombing will begin in five minutes."

Okay, it was a sound check, but certain people got their panties in a wad over it.

That speech he gave at Normady France to mark D-Day in 1984 still brings tears to my eyes. I get teary eyed just reading it.

To Richard Allen, who became his first national security advisor, "you probably think that I don't have a strategy for dealing with the Soviet Union. But I do. We win, you loose."

Sounded simplistic and silly to all those Harvard professors, but guess who was right in the end.
