Reagan on Foreign Policy, America, and Democracy

“Because we're a great nation, our challenges seem complex.”

January 11, 1989

“Because we're a great nation, our challenges seem complex. It will always be this way. But as long as we remember our first principles and believe in ourselves, the future will always be ours. And something else we learned: Once you begin a great movement, there's no telling where it will end. We meant to change a nation, and instead, we changed a world.”

— Excerpted from Farewell Address to the Nation
