While Ronald Reagan was far from perfect (he gave us some of our most liberal supreme court justices), he has several if not many sayings which are very applicable to our lives today.
From Chesterton:
"Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions."
-- Gilbert Keith Chesterton
(1874-1936) British essayist, critic, poet, and novelist

I need to find time to actually read Chesterton. I have heard much about him and his writings, but have yet to really evaluate him and his writing. However, the few quotes I have seen have really been 'spot-on' so to speak.
These quotes remind me of something some one else said:
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
(Mat 12:30 ESV)
Our answers today do not lie in government programs, or laws passed by congress, or supreme court decisions. All of these things are in the hand of God. No, the real question for us is are we on the Lord's side,... or not.
I know where I want to be found.
