Ages Of Experience Have Taught Us That The Commitment Of A Husband And A Wife To Love And To Serve One Another Promotes The Welfare Of Children And The Stability Of Society.

A Lot Of Times In The Rhetoric, People Forget The Facts. And The Facts Are That Thousands Of Small Businesses-hispanically Owned Or Otherwise-pay Taxes At The Highest Marginal Rate.

The Iraqis Needed To Know That We Weren't Going To Leave Them Alone. No Matter How Difficult It Was, The United States Would Help Them Realize The Universal Desire To Be Free. Now Of Course, If You Didn't Believe In The Universality Of Freedom, Then Of Course, You Wouldn't Act. I Care How They Live And I Believe A Free Iraq Will Be Transformative.

Terrorism Against Our Nation Will Not Stand.

We Don't Want Washington Democrats Running The House Of Representatives.

The Thing That's Important For Me Is To Remember What's The Most Important Thing.

Important Things

The Easiest Time To Be Faithful Is During A Time Of Crisis. The Hardest Time For Faith Is When All Is Well.

Times Of Crisis

War Has Been Waged Against Us By Stealth And Deceit And Murder. This Nation Is Peaceful, But Fierce When Stirred To Anger. This Conflict Was Begun On The Timing And Terms Of Others. It Will End In A Way, And At An Hour, Of Our Choosing.

The Same Folks That Are Bombing Innocent People In Iraq Were The Ones Who Attacked Us In America On September The 11th.

We Don't Need Mass Armies Anymore. We Replace It With More Effective Equipment.

There's A Fundamental Difference Between Many Of The Democrats And My Party. And That Is: They Want To Leave Before The Job Is Completed In Iraq. Again, I Repeat: These Are Decent People. They're Just As American As I Am. I Just Happen To Strongly Disagree With Them. And It's Very Important For The American People To Understand The Consequences Of Leaving Iraq Before The Job Is Done. This Is A Global War On Terror.

Thousands Of Trained Killers Are Plotting To Attack Us, And This Terrible Knowledge Requires Us To Act Differently.

There Is Some Who Say That Perhaps Freedom Is Not Universal. Maybe It's Only Western People That Can Self-govern. Maybe It's Only, You Know, White-guy Methodists Who Are Capable Of Self-government. I Reject That Notion.

My Post-presidency Is Evolving.

My Administration Will Be More Supportive Of The Good Works Done Here Than Any Administration In The History Of This Country Because I Understand The Power Of Faith, That Faith Can Change Lives.

And There Is Distrust In Washington. I Am Surprised, Frankly, At The Amount Of Distrust That Exists In This Town. And I'm Sorry It's The Case, And I'll Work Hard To Try To Elevate It.

Year After Year In Washington, Budget Debates Seem To Come Down To An Old, Tired Argument: On One Side, Those Who Want More Government, Regardless Of The Cost; On The Other, Those Who Want Less Government, Regardless Of The Need....government Has A Role, And An Important Role. Yet, Too Much Government Crowds Out Initiative And Hard Work, Private Charity And The Private Economy....government Should Be Active, But Limited; Engaged, But Not Overbearing.

My Fellow Citizens, The Dangers To Our Country And The World Will Be Overcome. We Will Pass Through This Time Of Peril And Carry On The Work Of Peace. We Will Defend Our Freedom. We Will Bring Freedom To Others And We Will Prevail.

And One Of The Challenges, Of Course, Is To Convince People That Muslims Would Like To Be Free, That There's Other People Other Than People In Britain And America That Would Like To Be Free In The World.

I Think Everybody Knows That Africa Is In A Very Deep Crisis. There Is Economic Misery And Social Deprivation And That Africa Needs Help But The Question Then Is How. And Also We Have To Make Sure That We Don't Repeat Old Mistakes; This Help Is Only Short Term. It Doesn't Address Africa's Long-term Fundamental Needs And How To Put Africa On The Right Track To Development. What Africa Needs To Do Is To Grow, To Grow Out Of Debt.

This Foreign Policy Stuff Is A Little Frustrating.

We Increased Expenses, Particularly In Two Areas: The Military. If I Put Somebody In Harm's Way, They're Going To Get The Best, As Far As I'm Concerned.

Thirdly, The Explorationists Are Willing To Only Move Equipment During The Winter, Which Means They'll Be On Ice Roads, And Remove The Equipment As The Ice Begins To Melt, So That The Fragile Tundra Is Protected.

From The Beginning, I Said That Israel, One, Has A Right To Defend Herself, But Israel Ought To Be Cautious About How She Defends Herself. Israel's A Democratically Elected Government. They Make Decisions On Their Own Sovereignty. It's Their Decision-making That Is What Leads To The Tactics They Chose.

This Was Not An Act Of Terrorism, But It Was An Act Of War.

War On Terrorism

I Wouldn't Pick A Judge Who Said That The Pledge Of Allegiance Couldn't Be Said In A School Because It Had The Words 'under God'' In It. I Think That's An Example Of A Judge Allowing Personal Opinion To Enter Into The Decision-making Process, As Opposed To Strict Interpretation Of The Constitution.

Because Marriage Is A Sacred Institution And The Foundation Of Society, It Should Not Be Redefined By Activist Judges. For The Good Of Families, Children And Society, I Support A Constitutional Amendment To Protect The Institution Of Marriage.

Iraq Is A Very Important Part Of Securing The Homeland, And Its A Very Important Part Of Helping Change The Middle East Into A Part Of The World That Will Not Serve As A Threat To The Civilized World, To People Like - Or To The Developed World, To People Like - In The United States.

History Is Moving, And It Will Tend Toward Hope, Or Tend Toward Tragedy.

I Wish I Wasn't The War President. Who In The Heck Wants To Be A War President? I Don't.

We Have Learned That Terrorist Attacks Are Not Caused By The Use Of Strength; They Are Invited By The Perception Of Weakness. And The Surest Way To Avoid Attacks On Our Own People Is To Engage The Enemy Where He Lives And Plans. We Are Fighting That Enemy In Iraq And Afghanistan Today So That We Do Not Meet Him Again On Our Own Streets, In Our Own Cities.

I Am Mindful Of The Difference Between The Executive Branch And The Legislative Branch. I Assured All Four Of These Leaders That I Know The Difference, And That Difference Is They Pass The Laws And I Execute Them.

The Great Tradition Of America Is One Where People Can Worship The Way They Want To Worship. And If They Choose Not To Worship, They're Just As Patriotic As Your Neighbor. That Is An Essential Part Of Why We Are A Great Nation. If You're A Jew Or A Christian Or A Muslim, You're Equally American.

Tribal Sovereignty Means That. It's Sovereign. You're A... You're A... You've Been Given Sovereignty And You're Viewed As A Sovereign Entity.

American Indian

We Believe In Peace. We Strongly Believe In Freedom. Where We See Suffering We Will Help. And Rather Than Try To Offset A Nation, Why Not Join Nations Together To Achieve Kind Of Big Objectives?

I Make Decisions Based On What I Think Is Best For The Country.

I'm Telling You There's An Enemy That Would Like To Attack America, Americans, Again. There Just Is. That's The Reality Of The World. And I Wish Him All The Very Best.

By Promoting Liberty Abroad, We Will Build A Safer World. By Encouraging Liberty At Home, We Will Build A More Hopeful America.

Every Nation In Every Region Now Has A Decision To Make. Either You Are With Us, Or You Are With The Terrorists.

I Think I'm The Only President Other Than John Kennedy Who Had Both Parents Alive During The Presidency.

Washington Is A Town Where There's All Kinds Of Allegations. You've Heard Much Of The Allegations. And If People Have Got Solid Information, Please Come Forward With It. And That Would Be People Inside The Information Who Are The So-called Anonymous Sources, Or People Outside The Information - Outside The Administration.

There's Not Going To Be Enough People In The System To Take Advantage Of People Like Me.

Use Power To Help People. For We Are Given Power Not To Advance Our Own Purposes Nor To Make A Great Show In The World, Nor A Name. There Is But One Just Use Of Power And It Is To Serve People.

I View The Relationship With Canada As A Vital Relationship For The United States. The Relationship, Of Course, Is Defined Government-to-government. It's Also Defined People-to-people, And There's A Lot Of People In My Country Who Respect Canada And Have Great Relations With Canadians, And We Intend To Keep It That Way.

Listen, Al Gore Is A Very Tough Opponent. He Is The Incumbent. He Represents The Incumbency. And A Challenger Is Somebody Who Generally Comes From The Pack And Wins, If You're Going To Win. And That's Where I'm Coming From.

The Once All-powerful Ruler Of Iraq Was Found In A Hole, And Now Sits In A Prison Cell.

And After September The 11th, The United States Congress Also Granted Me Additional Authority To Use Military Force Against Al Qaeda. . . .

And We Need A Full Affront On An Energy Crisis That Is Real In California And Looms For Other Parts Of Our Country If We Don't Move Quickly.

I'd Like To Be A President [known] As Somebody Who Liberated 50 Million People And Helped Achieve Peace.

Anybody Who Is In A Position To Serve This Country Ought To Understand The Consequences Of Words.

I Can Change, But As We Speak Now, I Really Have Zero Desire To See My Name In The Press.

We Need To Have Mentoring Programs Energized By Government, Paid For By Government, But Who Exist Not Because Of Government. Teen Challenge Is A Way To Get People Off Drugs And Alcohol. Teen Challenge Is A Faith-based Program That Changes People's Hearts.

In The Battle Of Iraq, The United States And Our Allies Have Prevailed.

We All Know The Big Elephant In The Room. The Big Elephant In The Room Is African Governments. Africa Has Been Totally Mismanaged And Misruled, But Nobody Wants To Talk About That Because Of Political Correctness.

Political Correctness

This Crusade, This War On Terrorism Is Going To Take A While.

The Men And Women Of Afghanistan Are Building A Nation That Is Free, And Proud, And Fighting Terror - And America Is Honored To Be Their Friend.

Really Proud Of It. A Great Campaign. And I'm Really Pleased With The Organization And The Thousands Of South Carolinians That Worked On My Behalf. And I'm Very Gracious And Humbled.

The Rich Hire Lawyers And Accountants For A Reason - To Pass The Tax Bill On To You.

My Pan Plays Down An Unprecedented Amount Of Our National Debt.

Definition Of Victory Which Is Really An Important Thing For The American People To Understand Is That We Have An Ally In The War On Terror, That Democracy Is Able To Sustain Itself And Defend Itself, And The Iraqi People Feel That The Security Forces That We've Trained Up Are Capable Of Defending Themselves Against The Violent.

We Have Set Out To Promote The Work Of Community And Faith-based Charities. Government Cannot Be Replaced By Charities, But It Can Welcome Them As Partners Instead Of Resenting Them As Rivals.

Tyrants And Dictators Will Accept No Other Gods Before Them. They Require Disobedience To The First Commandment. They Seek Absolute Control And Are Threatened By Faith In God.

Part Of The Faith Walk Is To Understand Your Weaknesses And Is To Constantly Try To Embetter Yourself And Get Closer To The Lord.

I Ended Up Being The 43rd President Of The United States. It Was An Awesome Experience, And I'm Glad I Did It.

I Think A Lot Of The National Democrats Believe That, You Know, Iraq Is A Distraction And Not Part Of The War On Terror. They've Said So. And I Strongly Disagree.

We Go Forward With Complete Confidence In The Eventual Triumph Of Freedom. Not Because History Runs On The Wheels Of Inevitability; It Is Human Choices That Move Events. Not Because We Consider Ourselves A Chosen Nation; God Moves And Chooses As He Wills.

When I Say Drop Your Pants And Show Me The Moon, I'm Not Just Whistling Dixie!

Freedom Is On The March In This World. I Believe Everybody In The Middle East Desires To Live In Freedom. I Believe Women In The Middle East Want To Live In A Free Society.

When You Turn Your Heart And Your Life Over To Christ, When You Accept Christ As The Savior, It Changes Your Heart.

I Was The Commander In Chief With Men And Women In Combat. And The Idea Of Trying To Agonize In Public Or Show Weakness Would Have Demoralized Them.

Sometimes In This World You Make Unpopular Decisions Because You Think They're Right.

As A Matter Of Fact, The African Union Itself Estimated That Every Year Corruption Alone Costs Africa $148 Billion. If African Leaders Could Cut That In Half, They'll Find More Money Than What Tony Blair Is Trying To Raise For Them.

"reinvention" Is A Word That Doesn't Fit Into My Vocabulary.

I... You Know, I... Look, After 9/11, I Vowed To Protect This Country.

There Has Been Some Conditionalities In The Sense That This Debt Relief Is Supposed To Release Resources To Be Devoted To Education, Healthcare And Infrastructure, For Example. In The Past African Government Made Such Promises But They Never Carried Them Out.

I Call My Philosophy And Approach Compassionate Conservatism. It Is Compassionate To Actively Help Our Fellow Citizens In Need. It Is Conservative To Insist On Responsibility And Results. And With This Hopeful Approach, We Will Make A Real Difference In People's Lives.

I Know How Hard It Is For You To Put Food On Your Family.

We Cannot Show Weakness In This World Today

When You're Writing About Something That Happened, It Helps You Transition To The Present. Ironically Enough, By Focusing On Your Presidency, It Helps You Realize That You're No Longer The President. By Reliving Moments, It Helps You Stay Focused On The Moment.

Live In The Moment

If You Are Young Child And You've Lost Mother And Dad To Aids And Rich Nations Sit On The Sidelines Not Caring, You Will Become A Frustrated Person And A Hopeless Person.

I Think It Was In The Rose Garden Where I Issued This Brilliant Statement: If I Had A Magic Wand -- But The President Doesn't Have A Magic Wand. You Just Can't Say, 'low Gas.'

I Just Want You To Know That, When We Talk About War, We're Really Talking About Peace.

Here In Usa We Respect Someone's Rights, And As We Profess Tolerance, We Shouldn't Change - Or Have To Change - Our Basic Views On The Sanctity Of Marriage. I Believe In The Sanctity Of Marriage. I Think It's Very Important That We Protect Marriage As An Institution, Between A Man And A Woman.

These Demands Are Not Open To Negotiation Or Discussion.

I'm A Patient Man. And When I Say I'm A Patient Man, I Mean I'm A Patient Man.

Today, We're Fighting A New War To Defend Our Liberty And Our People And Our Way Of Life. And As We Work To Advance The Cause Of Freedom Around The World, We Remember That The Father Of Our Country Believed That The Freedoms We Secured In Our Revolution Were Not Meant For Americans Alone.

Even Grief Recedes With Time And Grace. But Our Resolve Must Not Pass. Each Of Us Will Remember What Happened That Day, And To Whom It Happened. We'll Remember The Moment The News Came -- Where We Were And What We Were Doing. Some Will Remember An Image Of A Fire, Or A Story Of Rescue. Some Will Carry Memories Of A Face And A Voice Gone Forever.

Some Folks Look At Me And See A Certain Swagger, Which In Texas Is Called 'walking.'

This Case Has Had Full Analyzation And Has Been Looked At A Lot. I Understand The Emotionality Of Death Penalty Cases.

Democrats Didn't Agree With Policies. How Do I Know? Because They Voted Against Them When They Came Up On The Floor Of The House And The Senate.

The Momentum Of Freedom In Our World Is Unmistakable - And It Is Not Carried Forward By Our Power Alone. We Can Trust In That Greater Power Who Guides The Unfolding Of The Years. And In All That Is To Come, We Can Know That His Purposes Are Just And True.

I Mean, If You've Ever Been A Governor Of A State, You Understand The Vast Potential Of Broadband Technology, You Understand How Hard It Is To Make Sure That Physics, For Example, Is Taught In Every Classroom In The State. It's Difficult To Do. It's, Like, Cost-prohibitive.

The Solid Truth Of The Matter Is, When You Find - If You Want To Help Heal The Hurt, If You Want To Hurt People And - Help People In Pain, The Best Way To Do So Is To Call Upon The Great Strength Of The Country, Which Is The Compassion Of Our Fellow Americans.

We Know That Dictators Are Quick To Choose Aggression, While Free Nations Strive To Resolve Differences In Peace.

I Believe The Best Way To Help Our Small Businesses Is Not Only Through Small-business Loans, Which We Have Increased Since I've Been The President Of The United States, But To Unbundle Government Contracts So People Have A Chance To Be Able To Bid And Receive A Contract To Help Get Their Business Going.

We Salute Our Veterans Of Pearl Harbor And World War Ii, Whose Sacrifices Saved Democracy During A Dark Hour. In Their Memory, A New Generation Of Our Armed Forces Goes Forward Against New Enemies In A New Era. Once Again, We Pledge To Defend Freedom, Secure Our Homeland, And Advance Peace Around The World. Americans Have Been Tested Before, And Our Nation Will Triumph Again.

If A Person Doesn't Have The Capacity That We All Want That Person To Have, I Suspect Hope Is In The Far Distant Future, If At All.

People Sometimes Have To Correct My English. I Knew I Had A Problem When Arnold Schwarzenegger Started Doing It.

The Financial Crisis Should Not Become An Excuse To Raise Taxes, Which Would Only Undermine The Economic Growth Required To Regain Our Strength.

I Will Have A Foreign-handed Foreign Policy.

I Firmly Believe The Death Tax Is Good For People From All Walks Of Life All Throughout Our Society.

I Would Say The Best Moment Of All Was When I Caught A 7.5-lb. Perch In My Lake. (answering A Reporter Who Asked Him To Name The Best Moment Of His Presidency.)
