"The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps."
Proverbs 16:9


Quotable Quotes From "The Gipper"


"The struggle now going on for the world will never be decided by bombs
or rockets, by armies or military might. The real crisis we face today 
 is a spiritual one; at root, it is a test of moral will and faith."


"I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free
unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here 
that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics:
as government expands, liberty contracts."


"We the People tell the government what to do.
It doesn't tell us."


"I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would
have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress."


"Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid."


"Freedom is never more than one generation away
from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in 
the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected,
and handed on to them to do the same."


"We must be cautious in claiming God is on our side.
I think the real question we must answer is, "Are we on His side?"


"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives."


"Within the covers of the Bible are answers for all the problems men face."


"The most terrifying words in the English language are:
"I'm from the government and I'm here to help."


"If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to.
This is the last stand on earth."


"If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God,
then we will be a nation gone under."
