Ronald Reagan on American Government

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandment's would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress

The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.

If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.

It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.

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.

Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.
