Four years ago we said we would invigorate our economy by giving people greater freedom and incentives to take risks and letting them keep more of what they earned. We did what we promised, and a great industrial giant is reborn.

Governments don't control things. A government can't control the economy without controlling people.

The Founding Fathers knew a government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they knew when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. So we have come to a time for choosing. (October 27, 1964)

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction

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.

We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free.
