The
Wit and Wisdom of Ronald Reagan – 06
1. History
demonstrates that time and again, in place after place, economic growth and
human progress make the greatest strides in countries that encourage economic
freedom.
2. With sound
understanding of our domestic freedom and responsibilities, we can construct
effective international cooperation. Without it, no amount of international
good will and action can produce prosperity.
3. We who live
in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and, ultimately, human
fulfillment are created from the bottom up, not government down.
4. Everyday
life confirms the fundamentally human and democratic ideal that individual
effort deserves an economic reward. Nothing is more crushing to the spirit of
working people and to the vision of development itself than the absence of
reward for honest toil and legitimate risk.
5. We cannot
have prosperity and successful development without economic freedom; not can we
preserve our personal and political freedoms without economic freedom.
6. Those which
put freedom as the first priority find they have also provided security and
economic progress.
7. It’s no
secret that I wear a hearing aid. Well, just the other day, all of a sudden, it
went haywire. We discovered the KGB had put a listening device in my listening
device.
Thank
you for reading and reflecting on today’s nuggets. Share them with others.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give. Be a giver in a world of takers.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others.
