Quote by Ronald Reagan

“I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages even now are being written.

And because it knows no limitation, it must terrify and ultimately triumph over those who would enslave their fellow men.”

“For such will be our ruin if you, in the immensity of your public abstractions, forget the private figure, or if we in the intensity of our private emotions forget the public world.
