Lets close the place down and see if anybody notices. — Ronald Reagan

"Its silly talking about how many years we will have to spend in the jungles of Vietnam when we could pave the whole country and put parking stripes on it and still be home by Christmas."

"So much of our profession is taken up with pretending ... that an actor must spend at least half his waking hours in fantasy."

"Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other."

"Americans dont go around carrying guns with the idea theyre using them to influence other Americans. Theres no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons."

"I have spent most of my life as a Democrat. I recently have seen fit to follow another course. I believe that the issues confronting us cross party lines."

"Shouldnt someone tag Mr. Kennedys "bold new imaginative" program with its proper age? Under the tousled boyish haircut it is still old Karl Marx — first launched a century ago. There is nothing new in the idea of a government being Big Brother to us all. Hitler called his "State Socialism" and way before him it was "benevolent monarchy."
