How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Дебаты кандидатов в президенты: Рейган против Андерсона (21 сентября 1980)
With regard to the freedom of the individual for choice with regard to abortion, there's one individual who's not being considered at all. That's the one who is being aborted. And I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born.

Рейган часто шутил на своём жизненном пути, в ходе президентства неоднократно показывал свой юмор и был известен как рассказчик историй. Его многочисленные шутки и фразы были отмечены как «классические и легендарные остроты». Одна из наиболее известных его шуток была посвящена Холодной войне. В августе 1984 в ходе еженедельного обращения по радио к американцам Рейган проводя проверку микрофона перед выступлением позволил себе такую шутку:

В те годы Джимми Картер был президентом.

Взрыв космического челнока «Челленджер» 28 января 1986 стал одним из основных моментов президентства Рейгана. Все семь астронавтов, бывших на борту, погибли. В ночь катастрофы Рейган произнёс речь, написанную Пеги Нунан, в которой он процитировал начальные и конечные строки поэмы Джона Маги «Высокий полёт».

11 января 1989
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.

Контексте: From Stettin on the Baltic to Varna on the Black Sea, the regimes planted by totalitarianism have had more than thirty years to establish their legitimacy. But none — not one regime — has yet been able to risk free elections. Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root.... If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.... Our military strength is a prerequisite to peace, but let it be clear we maintain this strength in the hope it will never be used, for the ultimate determinant in the struggle that's now going on in the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas, a trial of spiritual resolve, the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish, the ideals to which we are dedicated.

Address to the annual meeting of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce (30 March 1961)
Later variant: Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.

Контексте: Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

1970s

This was a signature phrase of Ronald Reagan — he used it dozens of times in public, although he was not the first person known to use it. When Reagan used this phrase, he was usually discussing relations with the Soviet Union and he almost always presented it as a translation of the Russian proverb "doveriai, no proveriai".
