The greatness of America doesn't begin in Washington; it begins with each of you...

"I told you what I'd believed all my life: The greatness of America doesn't begin in Washington; it begins with each of you -- in the mighty spirit of free people under God, in the bedrock values you live by each day in your families, neighborhoods, and workplaces. Each of you is an individual worthy of respect, unique and important to the success of America." Address to the Nation on the Eve of the Presidential Election, November 5, 1984
