History Will Look Back, And I'm Fully Prepared To Accept Any Mistakes That History Judges To My Administration, Because The President Makes The Decisions, The President Has To Take The Responsibility.

My Answer Is Bring Them On.

I Repeat To You-my Own View Is, Is That If A State-if People Decide To-what They Do In The Privacy Of Their House, Consenting Adults Should Be Able To Do. This Is America. It's A Free Society, But It Doesn't Mean We Have To Redefine Traditional Marriage.

I Am Sustained By The Prayers Of The People In This Country. I Guess An Appropriate Way To Say This, It's One Of The Beautiful Things About America And Americans From All Walks Of Life Is That They're Willing To Pray For The President And His Family.

Renewing The Promise Of America Begins With Upholding The Dignity Of Human Life.

The Biggest Threat Facing America Is Terrorists With Weapons Of Mass Destruction.

Mass Destruction

I Will Always Believe Our Nation's Best Days Lie Ahead.

Terrorists Like Bin Laden Are Serious About Mass Murder - And All Of Us Must Take Their Declared Intentions Seriously. They Seek To Impose A Heartless System Of Totalitarian Control Throughout The Middle East, And Arm Themselves With Weapons Of Mass Murder. . . . Their Aim Is To Seize Power In Iraq, And Use It As A Safe Haven To Launch Attacks Against America And The World.

You Subscribe Politics To It. I Subscribe Freedom To It.

Political Humor

No One Was More Shocked Or Angry Than I Was When We Didn't Find The Weapons. I Had A Sickening Feeling Every Time I Thought About It. I Still Do.

States Like These [iran, Iraq, North Korae], And Their Terrorist Allies, Constitute An Axis Of Evil, Arming To Threaten The Peace Of The World. By Seeking Weapons Of Mass Destruction, These Regimes Pose A Grave And Growing Danger. They Could Provide These Arms To Terrorists, Giving Them The Means To Match Their Hatred. They Could Attack Our Allies Or Attempt To Blackmail The United States. In Any Of These Cases, The Price Of Indifference Would Be Catastrophic.

Mass Destruction

America Was Targeted For Attack Because We're The Brightest Beacon For Freedom And Opportunity In The World, And No One Will Keep That Light From Shining.

Our Long-term Security Depends On Our Deep Faith In Liberty. And We'll Continue To Promote Freedom Around The World.

We Come Before God To Pray For The Missing And The Dead, And For Those Who Loved Them... Our Purpose As A Nation Is Firm, Yet Our Wounds As A People Are Recent And Unhealed And Lead Us To Pray... This World He Created Is Of Moral Design. Grief And Tragedy And Hatred Are Only For A Time. Goodness, Remembrance, And Love Have No End, And The Lord Of Life Holds All Who Die And All Who Mourn... Neither Death Nor Life Nor Angels Nor Principalities, Nor Powers Nor Things Present Nor Things To Come Nor Height Nor Depth Can Separate Us From God's Love.

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.

I've Heard This Theory About Everything Was Just Fine Until We Arrived And The Stir-up-the-hornet's- Nest Theory. It Just Doesn't Hold Water, As Far As I'm Concerned.

I Worry About A Culture That Devalues Life And Believe As Your President I Have An Important Obligation To Foster And Encourage Respect For Life In America And Throughout The World.

Tony Blair Made Decisions On What He Thought Was Best For The People Of Great Britain, And I Made Decisions On What I Thought Was Best For Americans.

I Don't Make Any Apologies For What I Do On The Campaign Trail.

For Me, I Learned From My Father That When It's Over, It's Over.

The Notion Of Democracy Beginning To Emerge Scares The Ideologues, The Totalitarians, Those Who Want To Impose Their Vision. It Just Frightens Them.

They've Seen Me Make Decisions, They've Seen Me Under Trying Times, They've Seen Me Weep, They've Seen Me Laugh, They've Seen Me Hug.

Somebody Accused Us Of Hiring Him And Putting Him There. He Was A Classic.

I Just Didn't Want To Get Out There Anymore; I Didn't Want To Get Back Into What I Call 'the Swamp.' And The Other Reason Why Is I Don't Think It's Good For The Presidency For A Former President To Be Opining About His Successor. President Obama's Got Plenty Of Critics - And I'm Just Not Gonna Be One.

On 9-11, We Discovered That We Cannot Escape From The World. To Me Personally, This Was A Life-changing Experience, And I Realized, As Did All Americans, In A Way That Is Impossible To Describe, That We Were Not Protected By The Two Oceans.
