It was my sister Maureen who was responsible for my becoming a Reagan.

I'm getting a little tired of everybody quoting Ronald Reagan.

Everyone seemed to want a piece of Ronald Reagan. It was maddening.

Socialists ignore the side of man that is the spirit. They can provide you shelter, fill your belly with bacon and beans, treat you when you're ill, all the things guaranteed to a prisoner or a slave. They don't understand that we also dream.

You know my father as governor, as president, but I knew him as dad. I was so proud to have the Reagan name and to be Ronald Reagan's son.

Government is like a baby: an alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
