"I want more than anything Ive ever wanted, to have an administration that will, through its actions, at home and in the international arena, let millions of people know that Miss Liberty still 'Lifts her lamp beside the golden door.'
Through our international broadcasting stations -- the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and the others -- let us send, loud and clear, the message that this generation of Americans intends to keep that lamp shining; that this dream, this last best hope of man on earth, this nation under God, shall not perish from the earth.
We will instead carry on the building of an American economy that once again holds forth real opportunity for all, we shall continue to be a symbol of freedom and guardian of the eternal values that so inspired those who came to this port of entry.
Let us pledge to each other, with this Great Lady looking on, that we can, and so help us God, we will make America great again.''Ronald Reagan

"Since her beginning America has held fast to this hope of divine providence, this vision of 'man with God.'
It is true that world peace is jeopardized by those who view mannot as a noble beingbut as an accident of nature, without soul, and important only to the extent he can serve an all powerful state.
But it is our spiritual commitmentmore than all the military might in the worldthat will win our struggle for peace.
It is not 'bombs and rockets' but belief and resolveit is humility before God that is ultimately the source of Americas strength as a nation.
Our people always have held fast to this belief, this vision, since our first days as a nation."Ronald Reagan
