I have a feeling that we are doing better in the war than the people have been told.

Ronald Reagan (1968). “I goofed: the wise and curious sayings of Ronald Reagan, 33rd Governor of California”

I'm beginning to wonder if the symbol of the United States pretty soon isn't going to be an ambassador with a flag under his arm climbing into an escape helicopter.

Peace, War, Climbing

The other day, someone told me the difference between a democracy and a people's democracy. It's the same difference between a jacket and a straitjacket.

United States. President (1981-1989 : Reagan), Ronald Reagan (1982). “Ronald Reagan”

The founders of the United Nations sought to replace a world at war with a world of civilized order. They hoped that a world of relentless conflict would give way to a new era, one where freedom from violence prevailed.... But the awful truth is that the use of violence for political gain has become more, not less, widespread in the last decade.

War, Order, Giving

America has never gotten in a war because we were too strong.

Our moral imperative is to work with all our powers for that day when the children of the world grow up without the fear of nuclear war.

United States. President (1981-1989 : Reagan), Ronald Reagan (1982). “Ronald Reagan”

We have not inherited an easy world. If developments like the Industrial revolution, which began in England, and the gifts of science and technology have made life much easier for us, they have also made it more dangerous. There are threats now to our freedom, indeed to our very existence, that other generations could never even have imagined. There is first the threat of global war. No president, no Congress, no prime minister, no parliament can spend a day entirely free of this threat. If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.

War, Technology, President

While other [military] alliances have been formed to win wars, our fundamental purpose is to prevent war while preserving and extending the frontiers of freedom.

United States. President (1981-1989 : Reagan), Ronald Reagan (1990). “Ronald Reagan”

The true lesson of the Vietnam War is: certainty of purpose and ruthlessness of execution win wars.

Peace, War, Winning

No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology.

Mother, Peace, War

Moscow State University Address, delivered 31 May 1988, Moscow, Russia

By 1980, we knew it was time to renew our faith, to strive with all our strength toward the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with an orderly society. We believed then and now there are no limits to growth and human progress when men and women are free to follow their dreams.

Dream, War, Men

Second Inaugural Address, delivered 21 January 1985, Rotunda of the Capitol, Washington D.C.

What if free people could live secure in the knowledge that their security did not rest upon the threat of instant U.S. retaliation to deter a Soviet attack, that we could intercept and destroy strategic ballistic missiles before they reached our own soil or that of our allies?

War, People, What If

Ronald Reagan (2011). “An American Life: An Enhanced eBook with CBS Video: The Autobiography”, p.494, Simon and Schuster

We cannot escape our destiny, nor should we try to do so. The leadership of the free world was thrust upon us two centuries ago in that little hall of Philadelphia. In the days following World War II, when the economic strength and power of America was all that stood between the world and the return to the dark ages, Pope Pius XII said, 'The American people have a great genius for splendid and unselfish actions. Into the hands of America God has placed the destinies of an afflicted mankind.' We are indeed, and we are today, the last best hope of man on earth.

War, Dark, Destiny

Well, the task I've set forth will long outlive our own generation. But together, we too have come through the worst. Let us now begin a major effort to secure the best- a crusade for freedom that will engage the faith and fortitude of the next generation. For the sake of peace and justice, let us move toward a world in which all people are at last free to determine their own destiny.

War, Moving, Destiny

Address to British Parliament, delivered 8 June 1982, Royal Gallery at the Palace of Westminster, London

The war in vietnam threatened to tear our society apart, and the political and philosophical disagreements that separated each side continue, to some extent. It's been said that these memorials reflect a hunger for healing.

War, Philosophical, Healing

It is no coincidence that when the thugs tried to wrest control over Grenada, there were 30 Soviet advisors and hundreds of Cuban military and paramilitary forces on the island.

Military, War, Thug

United States. President (1981-1989 : Reagan), Ronald Reagan (1983). “Ronald Reagan”

It ought to be remembered by all [that] the Games more than 2,000 years ago started as a means of bringing peace between the Greek city-states. And in those days, even if a war was going on, they called off the war in order to hold the Games. I wish we were still as civilized.

Peace, War, Mean

United States. President (1981-1989 : Reagan), Ronald Reagan (1984). “Ronald Reagan”

When PLO sniper fire is followed by 14 hours of Israeli bombardment, that's stretching the definition of defensive action too far.

Peace, War, Fire

I have seen the rise and fall of Nazi tyranny, the subsequent cold war and the nuclear nightmare that for fifty years haunted the dreams of children everywhere. During that time my generation defeated totalitarianism. As a result, your world is poised for better tomorrows. What will you do on your journey?

Dream, Children, War

We fought a war on poverty, and poverty won

War, Poverty, War On Poverty

We have to realize that this country in its private sector has been fighting the most successful war on poverty the world has seen for the last 200 years.

Ronald Reagan (1968). “The Creative Society: Some Comments on Problems Facing America”

The signs of the Vietnam War protestors said "Make Love not War!" It didn't seem to me that they were capable of either.

War, Making Love, Vietnam

I think all of us are agreed that war is probably man's greatest stupidity and I think peace is the dream that lives in the heart of everyone wherever he may be in the world, but unfortunately, unlike a family quarrel, it doesn't take two to make a war. It only takes one, unless the other one is prepared to surrender at the first hint of force.

Dream, War, Heart

Dreams became issues of East versus West. Hopes became political rhetoric. Progress became a search for power and domination. Somewhere the truth was lost that people don't make war, governments do.
