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.

Рональд Рейган цитаты
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:
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».
„Все большие перемены в Америке начинаются за ужином.“
11 января 1989
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
