The greatest president in my lifetime is also an amazingly quoteable person. Here are a couple I picked up from some of my friends.
“Some people go their entire lives never knowing if they have made a difference. Marines don’t have that problem.”
“Here’s my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.”
“Blood that has soaked into the sands of a beach is all of one color. America stands unique in the world: the only country not founded on race but on a way, an ideal. Not in spite of but because of our polyglot background, we have had all the strength in the world.”
“The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.”
“Fascism was really the basis for the New Deal. It was Mussolini’s success in Italy, with his government-directed economy, that led the early New Dealers to say “But Mussolini keeps the trains running on time.””
“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
“I notice that everybody who is Pro-Abortion already has been born.”
“No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.”
