His quotes were golden.

“A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.”
- Ronald Reagan

“We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society
is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the
American precept that each individual is accountable for his
actions.”
- Ronald Reagan

“It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that
they know so many things that aren't so.”
- Ronald Reagan
