I think the American people have become more reliant upon government and less reliant upon themselves and that they now tend to put security ahead of freedom, but I think freedom is the most important aspect of our lives.
From Lyn Nofziger
I don't like government, it's just that simple.
That foreign trade should be fair rather than free.
Several things about Reagan are unusual in a public man. He was not a typical politician at all, but a private man in public life.
Government should work to insure the rights of the individual, not plot to take them away.
I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.
That government is not a necessary good but an unavoidable evil.
The best thing going for us is Al Gore. I cannot conceive how the American people could elect him. On the other hand, I couldn't conceive how they could elect a Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton - especially Clinton in '96.
Most politicians - those people who live, eat and breathe politics - like to sit around and talk about politics and tell political war stories. Reagan didn't do that. His war stories were movie war stories and Hollywood war stories. He loved that.
