Reagan was a giant figure, who literally reshaped the world. He mastered a job that conventional wisdom said was too big for any one man. He was easily the most underrated President of the 20th Century. -- Dave Burton, Cary, NC
...and he didn't care who got the credit, -- Dave Burton, Carym NC
I understand this was said by him in 1981, but is this quote originally by Ronald Reagan? I heard it's from Marie (Hines?). Now in 2006, Democrat Governor Dave Freudenthal of WY is saying it's his! -- ronnieleblanc@yahoo.com, Sheridan, WY

Great quote. I've found it attributed to Harry Truman, but chances are it is not even his original.
-- Dave King, Utah
Sometimes a great quote gets attributed to the person who makes it visible and relevant, rather than to the originator. The person associated with the words may not even have ever heard them before. These words sum up the spirit of Reagan. -- Dave Fafarman, El Sobrante, CA
the quote is by harry truman -- Anonymous
LOL, Anonymous!! I guess you didn't heed the quote, and thus gave it thumbs down because it wasn't credited to Truman. I am still laughing. The quote was on a sign on Reagan's desk -- I do not know if Truman said it or not. Cheers. -- Editor, Liberty Quotes
My husband was so inspired by this quote, that he used it during his Sunday morning preaching! I think I will have to have it engraved and put on his desk for Christmas! -- Michele, Belsano, PA
I went to the Reagan Museum.... and in the tour, they said that he loved the quote and left it on his desk for future presidents. I don't think he authored it but he lived it! -- Diane Reed, Paso Robles
The point is in WHAT IT SAYS, not who said it or who claims so-and-so said it. Besides which, just because Reagan liked it so much doesn't mean he claimed authorship, and he certainly couldn't control whomever might say that he said it... egads. -- Anonymous
The quote was apparently made by Ralph Waldo Emerson. A good friend of mine who kept it as part of his signature found it at:

Ronald Reagan was an idiot who brought our national debt from 8 billion dollars to the debts we have today. The 2 greatest Presidents were Jimmy Carter and William Jefferson Clinton (the only president who balanced the budget). Clinton mastered the job and was so successful the jealous rebublicans had to resort to sending a whore to suck his cock to get him out of office. The republicans just can not beat Bill Clinton in an election. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton are the 2 most powerful men in the world today. George Bush was a great joke. -- eddie, Diamond Bar, California
Great quote. For all of you trying to determine it's origin, wouldn't it be hypocritical of the person who originally said the quote to claim credit for it? -- Don, Dallas
Can we get Eddie, Diamond Bar to give us more of his insights? -- Don, Dallas
