Ronald Reagan najznámejšie citáty

„Žite jednoducho, milujte štedro, buďte starostlivý, hovorte láskavo, ostatné nechajte na Boha.“

Ronald Reagan

„Najlepší vodca nemusí byť nevyhnutne ten, kto robí tie najlepšie veci. Je to ten, ktorý prinúti ľudí robiť najlepšie veci.“

Ronald Reagan

„Vojny nezačínajú ľudia, ale vlády.“

Ronald Reagan

„"S veľkým záujmom som si prečítal Ústavu Sovietskeho zväzu. Našiel som v nej mnoho podobných vecí ako v našej vlastnej: "slobodu zhromažďovania", "slobodu prejavu", a ďalšie. Samozrejme, že sa nedodržiavajú, aj keď sú zakotvené v ústave. Potom som sa začal zaujímať aj o iné ústavy - každý štát má nejakú - a hľadať, prečo sa kladie taký veľký dôraz na našu. Nakoniec som na to prišiel a odpoveď bola veľmi jednoduchá. Všetky ostatné ústavy hovoria: "My, vláda, dávame ľuďom tieto práva". Naša ústava hovorí, "My, ľud, dávame vláde nasledujúce výsady a práva".“

Ronald Reagan

„Dejiny nás učia, že vojny začínajú, keď vlády uveria, že cena agresie je nízka.“

Ronald Reagan

„Politici majú sklon myslieť na budúce voľby a nie na budúce pokolenie.“

Ronald Reagan citáty a výroky

„Pohľad vlády na ekonomiku možno zhrnúť do pár krátkych fáz: Keď sa to hýbe, zdaň to. Ak sa to stále hýbe, zaveď na to regulácie. Ak sa to prestane hýbať, začni to dotovať.“

Ronald Reagan

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.
(15. august, White House Conference on Small Business)
Potvrdené výroky, Prvé prezidentské obdobie (1981 – 1985)

„Generálny sekretár Gorbačov, ak hľadáte mier, ak hľadáte prosperitu pre Sovietsky zväz a východnú Európu, ak hľadáte liberalizáciu: Príďte k tejto bráne! Pán Gorbačov, otvorte túto bránu! Pán Gorbačov, zbúrajte tento múr.“

Ronald Reagan

General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
Prejav pred Brandeburgskou bránou. (1987)
Potvrdené výroky, Druhé prezidentské obdobie (1985 – 1989)

O mieri

„Dejiny nás učia, že vojny začínajú, keď vlády uveria, že cena agresie je nízka. Aby sme udržali mier, musíme my a naši spojenci ostať dostatočne silní na to, aby sme presvedčili potencionálneho agresora, že vojna mu nemôže priniesť žiadne výhody, len pohromu. Keď opomíname našu obranu, riziko vážnej konfrontácie vzrastá.“

Ronald Reagan

History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap. To keep the peace, we and our allies must be strong enough to convince any potential aggressor that war could bring no benefit, only disaster. So, when we neglected our defenses, the risks of serious confrontation grew.

O pravde

„Ako sa vláda rozširuje, tak sa sloboda zužuje.“

Ronald Reagan

O slobode

„Thomas Jefferson raz povedal: "Nikdy by sme nemali posudzovať prezidenta podľa jeho veku, iba podľa jeho práce." A odkedy mi to povedal, prestal som si robiť starosti.“

Ronald Reagan

Thomas Jefferson once said, "We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works." And ever since he told me that I stopped worrying.

„Vianoce znamenajú tak veľa kvôli jednému neobyčajnému dieťaťu. Ale Vianoce nám tiež pripomínajú, že všetky deti sú neobyčajné, že sú darmi od Boha, darmi neobyčajnej hodnoty, ktoré znamenajú viac než akékoľvek peniazmi zakúpené darčeky. V ich láske a smiechu, v našej nádeji pre ich budúcnosť spočíva skutočný význam Vianoc.“

Ronald Reagan

Christmas means so much because of one special child. But Christmas also reminds us that all children are special, that they are gifts from God, gifts beyond price that mean more than any presents money can buy. In their love and laughter, in our hopes for their future lies the true meaning of Christmas.

“I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines.”

Ronald Reagan

1960s, A Time for Choosing (1964)

“Some people may still ask: Would the Soviets ever use their formidable military power? Well, again, can we afford to believe they won't? There is Afghanistan, and in Poland, the Soviets denied the will of the people and, in so doing, demonstrated to the world how their military power could also be used to intimidate.
The final fact is that the Soviet Union is acquiring what can only be considered an offensive military force. They have continued to build far more intercontinental ballistic missiles than they could possibly need simply to deter an attack. Their conventional forces are trained and equipped not so much to defend against an attack as they are to permit sudden, surprise offensives of their own.”

“I won a nickname, "The Great Communicator." But I never thought it was my style or the words I used that made a difference: It was the content. I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn't spring full bloom from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation — from our experience, our wisdom, and our belief in principles that have guided us for two centuries. They called it the Reagan revolution. Well, I'll accept that, but for me it always seemed more like the great rediscovery, a rediscovery of our values and our common sense.”

Ronald Reagan

Attributed to Reagan from informal remarks to reporters 10 October 1984,and to students and faculty at St. John's University 28 March 1985.[citation needed] The statement was made a decade earlier by Gerald Ford in an address to a Joint Session of the Congress, 12 August 1974. It is sometimes attributed to Thomas Jefferson and Barry Goldwater.
Similar assertions have often been attributed to Barry Goldwater. Some of the inspiration for such expressions may lie in "The Criminality of the State" by Albert Jay Nock in American Mercury (March 1939) where he stated: "You get the same order of criminality from any State to which you give power to exercise it; and whatever power you give the State to do things for you carries with it the equivalent power to do things to you."

Varianta: A government that is big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take everything you have.

Ronald Reagan

“I’ve been frustrated and angered by the attempts to paint me as a racist and as lacking in compassion for the poor. On the one subject I was raised by a mother and father who instilled in me and my brother a hatred for bigotry and prejudice, long before there was such a thing as a civil rights movement. As for the poor, we were poor in an era when there were no government programs to turn to. I’m well aware of how lucky I’ve been since and how good the Lord has been to me.”

“Prejudice is not a failing peculiar to one race, it can and does exist in people of every race and ethnic background. It takes individual effort to root it out of one’s heart. In my case my father and mother saw that it never got a start. I shall be forever grateful to them.”

“My first few years as governor were during the period when people talked of long hot summers to come. We had had the Watts riots just prior to my taking office and racial tensions were very high. Without informing the press, I traveled up and down the state meeting with minority groups and leaders, sometimes in private homes, sometimes in headquarters they had in various community projects. I wanted to know firsthand what their problems were, what was on their minds, and what we could do to change things.”

“I realize there is a great lack of information about what I did as governor of California and it increases the farther east you go. As a result of this, I know that the minority community has an impression that I have little or no interest in their problems. When I became governor I discovered that after eight years of liberal Democratic rule in Sacramento, very little outside of rhetoric had been done for the minorities. The civil service regulations were such that it was virtually impossible for a black employee of state government to rise above the very lowest job levels. We got those rules changed.”

“If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.”

Help us translate this quote

Ronald Reagan

I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals — if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is. Now, I can’t say that I will agree with all the things that the present group who call themselves Libertarians in the sense of a party say, because I think that like in any political movement there are shades, and there are libertarians who are almost over at the point of wanting no government at all or anarchy. I believe there are legitimate government functions. There is a legitimate need in an orderly society for some government to maintain freedom or we will have tyranny by individuals. The strongest man on the block will run the neighborhood. We have government to ensure that we don’t each one of us have to carry a club to defend ourselves. But again, I stand on my statement that I think that libertarianism and conservatism are traveling the same path.
