…of a nationally televised speech (in its entirety, unedited) that Ronald Reagan gave on October 27, 1964 on behalf of Presidential Candidate Barry Goldwater:

The best line of the entire speech is the following:

“No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size; so government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth.”

You can find a transcript of the speech here.
