Inaugural Address West Front of the U.S. Capitol January 20, 1981
This is part of a speech that was delivered to the nation when President Reagan was inaugurated to his first term of office.
In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.

I don't know that there will ever be any greater president than Ronald Reagan. It is a shame.
