Ronald Reagan Quotes:

Ocupation: 40th U.S. President

Life: February 6, 1911 - June 5, 2004

Birthday: February 6

Death: June 5

After watching the State of the Union address the other night [1994], I'm reminded of the old adage that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Only in this case, it's not flattery, but grand larceny: the intellectual theft of ideas that you and I recognize as our own. Speech delivery counts for little on the world stage unless you have convictions, and, yes, the vision to see beyond the front row seats.

- Ronald Reagan
