You Have To Be Optimistic About Golf. I Mean It's Physically Demanding, Particularly If You're On One Leg. But It's Psychologically Demanding Regardless Of Your Physical Infirmities.

A President Must Make Decisions Based Upon Principle And Stand By The Principles By Which He Makes Decisions In Order To Achieve Peace.

I Think Most People, When They Take A Look At The Candidates And The Positions Of The Candidates, Realize That Protecting This Country And Keeping This Economy Going Are The Two Most Important Issues.

I Thought How Proud I Am To Be Standing Up Beside My Dad. Never Did It Occur To Me That He Would Become The Gist For Cartoonists.

No President Ever Puts American Lives At Risk Without A Terrible Sense Of Responsibility. And No American Ever Hears Or Reads Of A Soldier’s Death Without Saying A Silent Prayer For The Dead Hero Or Thinking Of The Grief Of The Family And Friends. Every Young Man Or Woman Who Dies Represents A Life With Its Own Dreams And Plans, Extinguished So Suddenly. But All Said And Done, It Is Our Responsibility To See That (1) We Never Put Our Troops In Situations Where They Are Subject To Unnecessary Risk, And (2) We Give Them All Our Support At All Times.

Many People Are Coming To This Country For Economic Reasons. They're Coming Here To Work.

And That's What's Happening.

I Think That Not Criticizing My Successor Is A Statement Unto Itself, In Terms Of Trying To Create An Environment Where People Are Able To Have A Meaningful Discussion Or Debate Without Trash Talk.

If People Want To Get To Know Me Better, They've Got To Know My Parents And The Values My Parents Instilled In Me, And The Fact That I Was Raised In West Texas, In The Middle Of The Desert, A Long Way Away From Anywhere, Hardly. There's A Certain Set Of Values You Learn In That Experience.

I Inherited Half My Father's Friends And All His Enemies

We Can Have Confidence In The Long-term Foundation Of Our Economy ... I Think The System Basically Is Sound. I Truly Do.

You Know, I Could Run For Governor But I'm Basically A Media Creation. I've Never Done Anything. I've Worked For My Dad. I Worked In The Oil Business. But That's Not The Kind Of Profile You Have To Have To Get Elected To Public Office.

I Promise You I Will Listen To What Has Been Said Here, Even Though I Wasn't Here.

America Has Entered A Great Struggle That Tests Our Strength, And Even More Our Resolve. Our Nation Is Patient And Steadfast.

We Must Be Steadfast In This Endeavor, Upon Which Depends Not Only Our Future But That Of The Entire Modern World.

I Understand Why People Are Discouraged About Iraq. I Can Understand That. We Live In A, You Know, World In Which People Hope Things Happen Quickly. And This Is A Situation Where Things Don't Happen Quickly Because There's, You Know, A Very Tough Group Of People Using Tactics - Mainly The Killing Of Innocent People - To Achieve Their Objective, And They're Skillful About How They Do This. And They Also Know The Impact Of What It Means On The Consciousness Of Those Of Us Who Live In The Free World. They Know That.

If You're Sick And Tired Of The Politics Of Cynicism And Polls And Principles, Come And Join This Campaign.

We Are A Caring Nation, And Our Values Should Also Guide Us On How We Harness The Gifts Of Science. New Medical Breakthroughs Bring The Hope Of Cures For Terrible Diseases And Treatments That Can Improve The Lives Of Millions.

America Is Successful Because Of The Hard Work And Creativity And Enterprise Of Our People.

I Meant It When I Said She Was The Greatest First Lady Ever. Because She Viewed The Presidency And Being First Lady As An Opportunity To Improve People's Lives. It Wasn't A Burden. She Put Her Heart And Soul Into The Experience, Just Like I Did.

I Strongly Believe That Marriage Should Be Defined As Between A Man And A Woman. I'm Troubled By Activist Judges Who Are Defining Marriage.

I Can't Tell You What It's Like To Be In Europe, For Example, To Be Talking About The Greatness Of America. But The True Greatness Of America Are The People.

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.

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

Terrorists And Their Allies Believe The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights And The American Bill Of Rights And Every Charter Of Liberty Ever Written Are Lies To Be Burned And Destroyed And Forgotten.

I Couldn't Imagine Somebody Like Osama Bin Laden Understanding The Joy Of Chanukah.

Globalization Has Altered The Dynamics In The White House, As Well As Between The White House And The Treasury.

We Are Not Deceived By Their Pretenses To Piety. We Have Seen Their Kind Before. They Are The Heirs Of All The Murderous Ideologies Of The 20th Century. By Sacrificing Human Life To Serve Their Radical Visions - By Abandoning Every Value Except The Will To Power - They Follow In The Path Of Fascism, And Nazism, And Totalitarianism. And They Will Follow That Path All The Way, To Where It Ends: In History's Unmarked Grave Of Discarded Lies.

I'm Forever A Former President And I Understand That, But At This Point In My Post-presidency, I Don't Want To Be Involved With Politics.

When John Murtha, For Example, Said The Marines Are Killing Innocent Civilians In Cold Blood.

The North Korean Regime Remains One Of The World's Leading Proliferator Of Missile Technology, Including Transfers To Iran And Syria.

Most People In America Understand That The Rich People Hire Good Accountants And Figure Out How Not To Necessarily Pay All The Taxes.

Terrorist Attacks Can Shake The Foundations Of Our Biggest Buildings, But They Cannot Touch The Foundation Of America. These Acts Shatter Steel, But They Cannot Dent The Steel Of American Resolve.

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

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.'

We've Been Able To Watch On Our Television Screens Sophisticated Weaponry Find A Building; And We've Seen Dramatic Reports From The Front Where Pulitzer Prize-to-be Winning Reporters Stood Up And Declared, The United States Is Attacked, And All That.

I Feel That It's Important Our Professionals Have The Tools To Keep The Enemy, To Stop Their Attacks.

We Know The Surface Temperature Of The Earth Is Warming. It Has Risen By .6 Degrees Celsius Over The Past 100 Years. There Was A Warming Trend From The 1890s To The 1940s, Cooling From The 1940s To The 1970s, And Then Sharply Rising Temperatures From The 1970s To Today.

I Want To Make It Clear To People That The Idea Of Putting Subliminable Messages Into Ads Is Ridiculous.

I Think Anybody Who Doesn't Think I'm Smart Enough To Handle The Job Is Underestimating.

One Of The Worst Days In America's History Saw Some Of The Bravest Acts In Americans' History. We'll Always Honor The Heroes Of 9/11. And Here At This Hallowed Place, We Pledge That We Will Never Forget Their Sacrifice.
