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.

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."

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.
