President Ronald Regan has many memorable quotes. Here are a few:

"If you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here, to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." This was one of President Regan's most famous quotes in 1987 when he urged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to stop the communist hold over East Berlin.

In 1985, Regan threatened to veto tax-increase legislation saying, "I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers: Go ahead, make my day."

In an attempt to form a clear arms reduction treaty, Regan told Gorbachev in 1986, "A nuclear war cannot be won, and must never be fought."

In 1981, Regan was shot John Hinckley Jr. He told his wife, "Honey, I forgot to duck." He also told doctors, " Please tell me you're Republicans."

Other quotes from Regan include:

"All great change in America begins at the dinner table."

"Don't be afraid to see what you see."

"Facts are stupid things."

"People don't start wars, governments do."

"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."

"The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away."

"You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans."
