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

We are at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind, and if we lose that war, and in doing so lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.
- Ronald Reagan, 1964
(commenting on the antiwar movement during the Vietnam War.)
