More From George W. Bush

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.

When It Comes Time To Protecting The Homeland, The United States Of America Must Be Right 100 Percent Of The Time. And The Enemy, Which Desires To Strike Us Again, Only Has To Be Right Once.

I Remember, Right After Hezbollah Launched Its Rocket Attacks On Israel, I Said: This Is A Clarifying Moment; This Is A Chance For The World To See The Threats Of The 21st Century, The Challenge We Face.

Mathematics Are One Of The Fundamentaries Of Educationalizing Our Youth.

You Might Want To Comment On That, Honorable.

I Have Zero Desire, Just So You Know, To Be In The Limelight. I Don't Think It's Good For The Country To Have A Former President Criticize His Successor. You're Not Going To See Me Giving My Opinions In The Public Arena, Until I Start Selling My Book. I'm Going To Emerge Then Submerge.

Americans Have Always Held Firm, Because We Have Always Believed In Certain Truths. We Know That If Evil Is Not Confronted, It Gains In Strength And Audacity And Returns To Strike Us Again. We Know That When The Work Is Hard, The Proper Response Is Not Retreat, It Is Courage. And We Know That A Great Ideal Of Human Freedom Entrusted To Us In A Special Way And That The Ideal Of Liberty Is Worth Defending.

I Want Our Enemies To Understand That Don't Think That Their Violent Acts Are Going To Cause This President To Leave Before The Job Is Done. And I Want Our Troops To Understand We Respect Them And That The Sacrifices They Make Are Noble And Necessary For Peace.

Trying To Stop Suiciders -- Which We're Doing A Pretty Good Job Of On Occasion -- Is Difficult To Do. And What The Iraqis Are Going To Have To Eventually Do Is Convince Those Who Are Conducting Suiciders Who Are Not Inspired By Al Qaeda, For Example, To Realize There's A Peaceful Tomorrow.

What Ends Up Happening Is People Form Images And The Image They Form Is, In Some Ways, What They Want It To Be. The Idea Of Trying To Correct The Image Is Something I'm Not Interested In Doing.

I Equate Freedom And Peace. And I Believe America, Given Its Position In The World, Must Use Our Power To Promote Freedom.

[the Economic Crisis ] Gave People The Option To Put Money Into Private Accounts.

I Don't Think It's Good For America To Have A Former President Undermine A Current President.

I've Got God's Shoulder To Cry On. And I Cry A Lot. I Do A Lot Of Crying In This Job. I'll Bet I've Shed More Tears Than You Can Count, As President.

We Will Not Permit The Triumph Of Violence In The Affairs Of Men; Free People Will Set The Course Of History.

The Lesson Of September The 11th Is: Take Threats Before They Fully Materialize.

I Walked Away From Kyoto Because It Would Damage America's Economy, You Bet. It Would Have Destroyed Our Economy. It Was A Lousy Deal For The American Economy. I Felt There Was A Better Way.

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

I Want To Thank You For Coming To The White House To Give Me An Opportunity To Urge You To Work With These Five Senators And Three Congressmen, To Work Hard To Get This Trade Promotion Authority Moving. The Power That Be, Well Most Of The Power That Be, Sits Right Here.

Neither In French Nor In English Nor In Mexican.

There Will Be No Going Back To The Era Before September The 11th, 2001 - To False Comfort In A Dangerous World.

Dangerous World

[my Father] Taught Me (at Least He Showed Me) A Dignified Way To Be A Former President Is That Once You're Off The Stage, You're Off The Stage.

We Do Not Know How Much Our Climate Could Or Will Change In The Future. We Do Not Know How Fast Change Will Occur Or Even How Some Of Our Actions Could Impact It.

This Young Century Will Be Liberty's Century.

He's My Man, He Was Great

Well, You Know, I Think The American People Are Sacrificing Now. I Think They're Waiting In Airport Lines Longer Than They've Ever Had Before.

Dubya! What In Tarnation!? Why, I'll Tan Yer Hide Fer This!so, What's Sex Like After Fifty, Anyway?

What Happened To Our Nation On A September Day Set In Motion The First Great Struggle Of A New Century. The Enemies Who Struck Us Are Determined And They Are Resourceful. They Will Not Be Stopped By A Sense Of Decency Or A Hint Of Conscience--but They Will Be Stopped.

We're Now Interested In Finding Those Who May Attack America And Arrest Them Before They Do. We've Had Over Nearly A Thousand People Have Been Detained In America And Questioned About Their Motives And Their Intentions.

It's Not The Governor’s Role To Decide Who Goes To Heaven. That’s God’s Role.

Are The Peoples Of The Middle East Somehow Beyond The Reach Of Liberty? Are Millions Of Men And Women And Children Condemned By History Or Culture To Live In Despotism? Are They Alone Never To Know Freedom And Never Even To Have A Choice In The Matter?

If You're A Poor Worker - This Is For New Workers Coming Into The Workplace - Your Benefits Will Increase At The Current Rate Of Increase. If You're A Wealthier Worker, Your Benefits Would Increase At The Rate Of Inflation. And Those Changes Would Affect Positively The Unfunded Liabilities Inherent In Social Security.

When We Make A Pledge, We Mean It. We Keep Our Word, And What We Begin, We Will Finish.

I Can Look You In The Eye And Tell You I Feel I've Tried To Solve The Problem Diplomatically To The Max, And Would Have Committed Troops Both In Afghanistan And Iraq Knowing What I Know Today.

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.

America Has Entered A Great Struggle That Tests Our Strength, And Even More Our Resolve. Our Nation Is Patient And Steadfast. We Continue To Pursue The Terrorists In Cities And Camps And Caves Across The Earth. We Are Joined By A Great Coalition Of Nations To Rid The World Of Terror. And We Will Not Allow Any Terrorist Or Tyrant To Threaten Civilization With Weapons Of Mass Murder. Now And In The Future, Americans Will Live As Free People, Not In Fear, And Never At The Mercy Of Any Foreign Plot Or Power.

Running For Governor Of Texas Against A Very Popular Governor [incumbent Ann Richards] Was Deemed To Be Risky. Everybody Thought I Would Lose. As I Put In My Book, My Mother Said, "you're Going To Lose!"

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.

The Fundamental Question Is, 'will I Be A Successful President When It Comes To Foreign Policy?' I Will Be, But Until I'm The President, It's Going To Be Hard For Me To Verify That I Think I'll Be More Effective.

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.

So On Behalf Of A Well-oiled Unit Of People Who Came Together To Serve Something Greater Than Themselves, Congratulations.

Congratulations

Initiative And Referendum Make Government More Responsive To Its Citizens, Neutralize The Power Of The Special Interests And Stimulate Public Involvement In State Issues.

When I Take Action, I'm Not Going To Fire A $2 Million Missile At A $10 Empty Tent And Hit A Camel In The Butt. It's Going To Be Decisive.

[i Was Raised In] West Texas Where People Can Dream Big Dreams And Achieve Them. But Where People Also Have A Great Sense Of Community. They Cared About Their Neighbors. And Those Values, I Think, Have Stood Me Well.

First Of All, You Never Retire. At Least I Don't Retire.

This Is Still A Dangerous World. It's A World Of Madmen And Uncertainty And Potential Mental Losses.

Dangerous World

I Think That If You Don't Think We're In A War That You Can't Win The War.

The More You Defend In The Face Of A Critical Audience, The More You Polarize.

For Too Long, Many Nations, Including My Own, Tolerated, Even Excused, Oppression In The Middle East In The Name Of Stability. Oppression Became Common, But Stability Never Arrived. We Must Take A Different Approach. We Must Help The Reformers Of The Middle East As They Work For Freedom, And Strive To Build A Community Of Peaceful, Democratic Nations.

That's A Chapter - The Last Chapter - Of The 20th ... 20th ... The 21st Century That Most Of Us Would Rather Forget. The Last Chapter Of The 20th Century. This Is The First Chapter Of The 21st Century.

I Want To Remind You Right Quick What This Country Has Been Through, And The Challenges This Economy Had Faced Over The Last Three Years. First, We Went Through A Recession. That Means We Were Going Backwards.

My Hope Was That By Saying Clearly To Saddam Hussein, "we're Going To Enforce Un Resolutions," That He Would Make The Decision To Leave Peaceably And At Least Allow For Inspectors To Come Into His Country, And If He Chose Not To, There Would Be A Military Option. I Want People To Understand That The Military Was My Last Option. I Had A Strategy And Hopefully Solving The Problem Peacefully - And It Wasn't Just Me, It Was A Coalition Of Nations That Were Involved.

My Fellow Americans: Major Combat Operations In Iraq Have Ended. In The Battle Of Iraq, The United States And Our Allies Have Prevailed.

We Americans Have Faith In Ourselves, But Not In Ourselves Alone. We Do Not Know-we Do Not Claim To Know All The Ways Of Providence, Yet We Can Trust In Them, Placing Our Confidence In The Loving God Behind All Of Life, And All Of History.

Great Tragedy Has Come To Us, And We Are Meeting It With The Best That Is In Our Country, With Courage And Concern For Others Because This Is America. This Is Who We Are.

Concern For Others

There's A Way To Accomplish The Separation Of Church And State And At The Same Time Accomplish The Social Objective Of Having America Become A Hopeful Place And Loving Place.

Americans Should Not Expect One Battle, But A Lengthy Campaign, Unlike Any Other We Have Ever Seen. It May Include Dramatic Strikes, Visible On Tv, And Covert Operations, Secret Even In Success.

We Got A Leader In Iran Who Has Announced That He Wants To Destroy Israel. So I've Told People That If You're Interested In Avoiding World War Iii, It Seems Like You Ought To Be Interested In Preventing Them From Have The Knowledge Necessary To Make A Nuclear Weapon.

This Is What I'm Good At. I Like Meeting People, My Fellow Citizens, I Like Interfacing With Them.

There May Be Some Tough Times Here In America. But This Country Has Gone Through Tough Times Before, And We're Going To Do It Again.

Faith Crosses Every Border And Touches Every Heart In Every Nation.

Obviously I Pray Every Day There's Less Casualty.

We Believe That By Removing A Crippling Debt Burden We'll Help Millions Of Africans Improve Their Lives And Grow Their Economies.

Because The Union Of A Man And Woman Deserves An Honored Place In Our Society, I Support The Protection Of Marriage Against Activist Judges. And I Will Continue To Appoint Federal Judges Who Know The Difference Between Personal Opinion And The Strict Interpretation Of The Law.

Personal Opinions

America Treasures The Relationship We Have With Our Many Muslim Friends, And We Respect The Vibrant Faith Of Islam Which Inspires Countless Individuals To Lead Lives Of Honesty, Integrity, And Morality. This Year, May Eid Also Be A Time In Which We Recognize The Values Of Progress, Pluralism, And Acceptance That Bind Us Together As A Nation And A Global Community. By Working Together To Advance Mutual Understanding, We Point The Way To A Brighter Future For All.

I Fully Understand It's Important To Maintain The Separation Of Church And State. We Don't Want The State To Become The Church, Nor Do We Want The Church To Become The State.

So I Don't Worry About, And People Shouldn't Worry About A Draft I Think We're In Good Shape, I Really Do. And, If Not, We'll - I'll Address The Nation. But I Don't See Any Need To Right Now.

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

All Across America, We Gather This Week With The People We Love To Give Thanks To God For The Blessings In Our Lives.

I Can Only Give My Life In A Way That Makes Me Comfortable.

Those Who Enter The Country Illegally Violate The Law.

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

War On Terrorism

The United States And Israel Have Enjoyed A Friendship Built On Mutual Respect And Commitment To Democratic Principles. Our Continuing Search For Peace In The Middle East Begins With A Recognition That The Ties Uniting Our Two Countries Can Never Be Broken.

We Cannot Show Weakness In This World Today

So It Is The Policy Of The United States To Seek And Support The Growth Of Democratic Movements And Institutions In Every Nation And Culture, With The Ultimate Goal Of Ending Tyranny In Our World.

I Think We Need Not Only To Eliminate The Tollbooth To The Middle Class, I Think We Should Knock Down The Tollbooth.

In The Long Term, We've Got To Defeat An Ideology Of Hate With An Ideology Of Hope. There' A Reason Why People Like [al-qaida Leader Osama] Bin Laden Are Able To Recruit Suiciders, Because If You Don't Have Hope, You're Attracted To An Ideology Which Says, It's Ok To Kill People And Kill Yourself.

I Think The Platform Ought To Be Pro-life. It Is The Basis Of The Republican Party. People Have Got To Understand That Abortion Is Not A Contraceptive.

I Want It To Be Said That The Bush Administration Was A Results-oriented Administration, Because I Believe The Results Of Focusing Our Attention And Energy On Teaching Children To Read And Having An Education System That's Responsive To The Child And To The Parents, As Opposed To Mired In A System That Refuses To Change, Will Make America What We Want It To Be - A More Literate Country And A Hopefuller Country.

The Contrast Couldn't Be Clearer Between The Intentions And The Hearts Of Those Of Us Who Care Deeply About Human Rights And Human Liberty And Those Who Kill. [on The Terrorist Bombings In London, July 7, 2005

Values Matters Well In A Race.

It Appears To Be A Re-run Of A Bad Movie. [iraqi President Saddam Hussein] Is Delaying. He's Deceiving. He's Asking For Time. He's Playing Hide-and-seek With Inspectors. One Thing Is For Certain - He's Not Disarming.

The German Asparagus Are Fabulous.

And Some Needs And Hurts Are So Deep They Will Only Respond To A Mentor's Touch Or A Pastor's Prayer. Church And Charity, Synagogue And Mosque, Lend Our Communities Their Humanity, And They Will Have An Honored Place In Our Plans And Laws.

There's Been Shock Waves Sent Throughout All Parts Of The Nation's Economic Fabric.

Civil Society People - These Are The People - Civil Society Groups Are The People Who Need To Monitor The Aid To Ensure That The Aid Is Directed To What It Is Supposed To. And In Order For Them To Do So, They Need To Have The Space, They Need To Have The Freedom, And They Need To Have The Right To Demonstrate, And To Petition Their Government. They Can't Do That In Ethiopia; They Can't Do That In Eritrea; And So This Is Why I Was Cautioning That We May Be Repeating Some Of Our Old Mistakes.

My Faith Plays A Big Part In My Life. And When I Was Answering That Question What I Was Really Saying To The Person Was That I Pray A Lot. And I Do. And My Faith Is A Very, It's Very Personal. I Pray For Strength. I Pray For Wisdom. I Pray For Our Troops In Harm's Way. I Pray For My Family. I Pray For My Little Girls.

Not Over My Dead Body Will They Raise Your Taxes.

The U.s. Liberated Iraq From A Tyrant. I Think The Iraqi People Owe The American People A Huge Debt Of Gratitude, And I Believe Most Iraqis Express That. I Mean, The People Understand That We've Endured Great Sacrifice To Help Them. That's The Problem Here In America. They Wonder Whether Or Not There Is A Gratitude Level That's Significant Enough In Iraq.

Culture Of Life Is Really Important For A Country To Have If It's Going To Be A Hospitable Society.

Natural Gas Is Hemispheric; I Like To Call It Hemispheric In Nature, Because It Is A Product That We Can Find In Our Neighborhoods.

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

In Addition To Declaring And Destroying All Of Its Weapons Of Mass Destruction, Iraq Must End Its Support For Terrorism. It Must Cease The Persecution Of Its Civilian Population. It Must Stop All Illicit Trade Outside The Oil-for-food Program. And It Must Release Or Account For All Gulf War Personnel, Including An American Pilot, Whose Fate Is Still Unknown. By Taking These Steps, And Only By Taking These Steps, The Iraqi Regime Has An Opportunity To Avoid Conflict. These Steps Would Also Change The Nature Of The Iraqi Regime Itself. America Hopes The Regime Will Make That Choice.

The Pentagon Is Constantly Adjusting Tactics Because They Have The Flexibility From The White House To Do So. The Strategy Is To Help The Iraqi People Achieve Their Objectives And Their Dreams, Which Is A Democratic Society. That's The Strategy. The Tactics It's Important That We Stay There And Get It Done; Or We Leave. We're Not Leaving So Long As I'm The President. That Would Be A Huge Mistake.

People Love America. Sometimes They Don't Like The Decisions Made By America, But I Don't Think You Want A President Who Tries To Become Popular And Does The Wrong Thing.

Our Founding Fathers Understood That Our Country Would Survive And Flourish If Our Nation Was Committed To Good Character And An Unyielding Dedication To Liberty And Justice For All.

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

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

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.

American Mission In Iraq Is Clear: We're Hunting Down The Terrorists. We're Helping Iraqis Build A Free Nation That Is An Ally In The War On Terror. We're Advancing Freedom In The Broader Middle East. We Are Removing A Source Of Violence And Instability And Laying The Foundation Of Peace For Our Children And Our Grandchildren.

We Don't Talk About Sources And Methods. Don't Talk About Ongoing Intelligence Operations. I Know There's Speculation. But It's Important For The American People To Understand That I Will Use My Powers To Protect Us, And I Will Do So Under The Law, And That's Important For Our Citizens To Understand.

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

Religion Is A Personal, Private Matter And Parents, Not Public School Officials, Should Decide Their Children's Religious Training. We Should Not Have Teacher-led Prayers In Public Schools, And School Officials Should Never Favor One Religion Over Another, Or Favor Religion Over No Religion (or Vice Versa). I Also Believe That Schools Should Not Restrict Students' Religious Liberties. The Free Exercise Of Faith Is The Fundamental Right Of Every American, And That Right Doesn't Stop At The Schoolhouse Door.

We Are Getting More And More Imports From Abroad.

We Are Learning More As We Interrogate Or Have Discussions With Iraqi Scientists And People Within The Iraqi Structure, That Perhaps He Destroyed Some, Perhaps He Dispersed Some... And So We Will Find Them.

Mass Destruction

States Like (iraq, Iran, & North Korea), And Their Terrorist Allies, Constitute An Axis Of Evil, Arming To Threaten The Peace Of The World.

What's The Sense Of Sending $2 Million Missiles To Hit A $10 Tent That's Empty?

I Believe We're Making Really Good Progress In Iraq.

I Understand How Democracy Works. Quite A Little Bit Of Criticism In It, Which Is Fine. That's Fine. That's Part Of The Process. But I Have Every Right, As Do My Administration, To Make It Clear What The Consequences Would Be Of Policy. And If We Think Somebody Is Strong Or Doesn't See The World The Way It Is, We'll Continue To Point That Out To People.

What Matters Is That In This Iraq Campaign That We Clarify The Different Points Of View. And There Are A Lot Of People In The Democratic Party Who Believe That The Best Course Of Action Is To Leave Iraq Before The Job Is Done. Period. And They're Wrong. And The American People Have Got To Understand The Consequence Of Leaving Iraq Before The Job Is Done. We're Not Going To Leave Iraq Before The Job Is Done And We'll Complete The Mission In Iraq.

In The Future History Will Be Made Only By Us.

I Did Denounce It. I De-i Denounced It. I Denounced Interracial Dating. I Denounced Anti-catholic Bigacy... Bigotry.

The Iraqi Regime Is A Threat Of Unique Urgency. [...] It Has Developed Weapons Of Mass Death.

Having Purpose. I Had Purpose During My Presidency, And I've Got Purpose After My Presidency.

The Thing That's Wrong With The French Is That They Don't Have A Word For Entrepreneur

Pushing Legislation That Would Undercut Our Troops Just As We're Beginning To Make Progress In Baghdad.

If The Iraqi Regime Is Able To Produce, Buy Or Steal An Amount Of Highly Enriched Uranium A Little Larger Than A Single Softball, [it] Could Have A Nuclear Weapon In Less Than A Year.

And I Am An Optimistic Person. I Guess If You Want To Try To Find Something To Be Pessimistic About, You Can Find It, No Matter How Hard You Look, You Know?

The Budget Caps Were Busted, Mightily So. And We Are Reviewing With People Like Judd Gregg From New Hampshire And Others Some Budgetary Reform Measures That Will Reinstate - You Know, Possibly Reinstate Budgetary Discipline. But The Caps No Longer - The Caps, I Guess They're There. But They Didn't Mean Much.

1992 Was The Worst Year Of My Life, To Watch My Dad Lose. It Was A Painful Experience. Yet When I Became President, It Was So Much Easier To Be President.

Painful Experiences

It's Important To Listen To The Words Of The Enemy If You're In War.

We Do Not Prescribe Any Prayer; We Welcome All Prayer.

The Enemies Of Liberty And Our Country Should Make No Mistake: America Remains Engaged In The World By History And By Choice, Shaping A Balance Of Power That Favors Freedom. We Will Defend Our Allies And Our Interests. We Will Show Purpose Without Arrogance. We Will Meet Aggression And Bad Faith With Resolve And Strength. And To All Nations, We Will Speak For The Values That Gave Our Nation Birth... An Angel Still Rides In The Whirlwind And Directs This Storm.

I've Heard The Call. I Believe God Wants Me To Run For President.

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

Sometimes When I Sleep At Night I Think Of (dr. Seuss's) 'hop On Pop.'

In The End, Leaders Are Defined By The Convictions They Hold.

I Think We Agree, The Past Is Over.

Either Well Succeed, Or We Wont Succeed. And The Definition Of Success As I Described Is Sectarian Violence Down. Success Is Not No Violence.

For Every Fatal Shooting, There Are About 3 Non-fatal Shootings. Folks, This Is Unacceptable In America.

Any Sign That Says We're Going To Leave Iraq Before The Job Is Done Simply Emboldens Terrorists And Creates A Certain Amount Of Doubt For People, So They Won't Take The Risk Necessary To Help A Civil Society Evolve In The Country.

Where We Find Young Democracies, We Need To Help Them. Where We Find The Enemy, We Need To Fight Them. And That's Exactly The Bush Policy.

No Insignificant Person Was Ever Born.

I Believe In Grace Because I've Seen It And Peace Because I've Felt It And Forgiveness Because I've Needed It.

Don't Misunderestimate Me. . . .

My Job Is To Think Beyond The Immediate.

Any Government That Chooses To Be An Ally Of Terror Has Also Chosen To Be An Enemy Of Civilization.

Free Market Capitalism Is Far More Than Economic Theory. It Is The Engine Of Social Mobility-the Highway To The American Dream.

Today, The Government Of A Free Afghanistan Is Fighting Terror, Pakistan Is Capturing Terrorist Leaders, Saudi Arabia Is Making Raids And Arrests, Libya Is Dismantling Its Weapons Programs, The Army Of A Free Iraq Is Fighting For Freedom, And More Than Three-quarters Of Al-qaida's Key Members And Associates Have Been Detained Or Killed. We Have Led, Many Have Joined, And America And The World Are Safer.

ariel Sharon Is A Man Of Courage And A Man Of Peace.

I Believe That Life Is Valuable, Even When It Is Unwanted, Even When It Is Physically Imperfect. I Believe Our Society Has A Responsibility To Defend The Vulnerable And The Weak. And I Believe Our Nation Should Set A Goal That Unborn Children Should Be Welcomed In Life And Protected In Law.

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

My Job Is A Decision-making Job, And As A Result, I Make A Lot Of Decisions.

The War On Terror Involves Saddam Hussein Because Of The Nature Of Saddam Hussein, The History Of Saddam Hussein, And His Willingness To Terrorize Himself.

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.

Gog And Magog Are At Work In The Middle East... The Biblical Prophecies Are Being Fulfilled... This Confrontation Is Willed By God, Who Wants To Use This Conflict To Erase His People's Enemies Before A New Age Begins.

The Suicide Bombings Have Increased. There's Too Many Of Them.

I Have A Different Vision Of Leadership. A Leadership Is Someone Who Brings People Together.

A Dictatorship Would Be A Heck Of A Lot Easier, There's No Question About It. Dealing With Congress Is A Matter Of Give And Take. The President Doesn't Get Everything He Wants, The Congress Doesn't Get Everything They Want. But We're Finding Good Common Ground.

I Think Whoever Is The President [he] Must Guard Your Liberties, Must Not Erode Your Rights In America.

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

The Problem Is, There Was Plenty Of Trash Talk During My Presidency. A Lot.

We Cannot Step Aside And Say That We Have Achieved Our Goal By Inventing A New Drug Or A New Way By Which To Treat Presently Incurable Diseases, A New Way To Help Those Who Suffer From Malnutrition, Or The Creation Of Ideal Balanced Diets On A Worldwide Scale. We Cannot Rest Till The Way Has Been Found, With Our Help, To Bring Our Finest Achievement To Everyone.

Keep Good Relations With The Grecians.

I Suspect People Are Going To Vote For Max Burns Because They Know Him As Local Boy Who's Got - Share Their Values.

Removing Saddam Hussein Was The Right Decision Early In My Presidency, It Is The Right Decision Now, And It Will Be The Right Decision Ever.

There Is But One Just Use Of Power And It Is To Serve People.

Servant Leadership

Russia Is No Longer Our Enemy And Therefore We Shouldn't Be Locked Into A Cold War Mentality That Says We Keep The Peace By Blowing Each Other Up. In My Attitude, That's Old, That's Tired, That's Stale.

The Administration Ill Bring Is A Group Of Men And Women Who Are Focused On Whats Best For America, Honest Men And Women, Decent Men And Women, Women Who Will See Service To Our Country As A Great Privilege And Who Will Not Stain The House.

Deeply Impressed With The Blessing Which We Enjoy, And Of Which We Have Much Manifold Proofs, My Mind Is Irresistibly Drawn To That Almighty Being, The Great Source Source From Whence They Proceed And Whom Our Most Grateful Acknowledgements Are Due.

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

Golf Teaches You Honesty. It Teaches You Discipline. It Gives You A Strong Appreciation Of Nature. And Personal Responsibility, Something That Lacks In Our Society At Times. I Mean, It's Only Your Fault, You Can't Blame Anyone Else When You Shank It. Or Pick The Wrong Club.

I Regret That We Weren't Able To Reform Social Security. The Fact That We Weren't Able To When We Had Majorities In The House And The Senate I Think Reflected Poorly On Our Political Party.

Victory Means Exit Strategy. And It's Important For The President To Explain To Us What The Exit Strategy Is.

If You Say, "are You Going To Change Your Strategic Objective?", It Means You're Leaving Before The Mission Is Complete, And We're Not Going To Leave Before The Mission In Iraq Is Complete.

"statesman" Gives The Impression That Every Time A Major Issue Comes Up, I'll Be Popping Off. And That's Not What's Going To Happen.

Security Is The Essential Roadblock To Achieving The Road Map To Peace.

George H. W. Bush Is Gracious. And I'm Not Saying Any Of The Former Presidents Aren't Gracious, I'm Just Saying, This Man Is Gracious.

George H W Bush

I Think You Ought To Be Open-minded As To Where Life Takes You.

I Have Zero Desire To Be In The Limelight.

We Know That The African Regimes, Many African Regimes Have Failed Their People And Many Africans Want Regime Change, And There Are A Lot Of African Leaders Who Make Promises But Don't Carry Them Out. I Mean, The Progress - I Mean, It Is Noble For The Rich Countries To Help Africa, But Then The Question Is: What Are African Leaders Themselves Doing To Help Their Own People?

Iran Is Obviously Part Of The Problem. They Sponsor Hezbollah. They Encourage A Radical Brand Of Islam.

It's Kind Of The Washington, D.c., Chattering Class. They Kind Of Talk Amongst Themselves.

There Are A Lot Of Tactical Decisions That, If I Could Have Done Them Over, I Would Have.

There's A Lot Of Things That There's Misconceptions. Evidently It's A Misconceptions That Americans Believe That Muslims Are Terrorists.

The Stakes Are Geopolitical In Nature And I Believe That Democracies Are - People Want To Live In Free Societies, Democracies Are The Best Way To Do That, And That If People See Democracies In The Neighborhood, They'll Demand The Same Thing.

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.

America Needs A Military Where Our Breast And Brightest Are Proud To Serve.

I've Watched Politics For Years. Republicans Rarely Get Credit For The Good Things That Happen In The Economy During Their Watch. Democrats Always Get More Credit Than They Deserve. They Are Just Better At Political Discourse That We Are.

Let's Make Sure That There Is Certainty During Uncertain Times In Our Economy.

Uncertain Times

We Will Stay The Course Until The Job Is Done, Steve. And The Temptation Is To Try To Get The President Or Somebody To Put A Timetable On The Definition Of Getting The Job Done. We're Just Going To Stay The Course.

Any Outlaw Regime That Has Ties To Terrorist Groups Or Seeks To Possess Weapons Of Mass Destruction Is A Grave Danger To The Civilised World And Will Be Confronted.

Mass Destruction

Terrorist Groups

Making Sure Every Child Can Read, Making Sure That We Encourage Faith-based Organizations ... When It Comes To Helping Neighbors In Need, Making Sure That Our Neighborhoods Are Safe, Making Sure That The State Of Texas Recognizes That People From All Walks Of Life Have Got A Shot At The Texas Dream But, Most Importantly, Making Sure That Government Is Not The Answer To People's Problems.

I Fully Understand Some People Don't Believe It's Possible For Freedom And Democracy To Overcome This Ideology Of Hatred. I Understand That. I Just Happen To Believe It Is Possible. And I Believe It Will Happen.

The Terrorists Are Traitors To Their Own Faith, Trying, In Effect, To Hijack Islam Itself. The Enemy Of America Is Not Our Many Muslim Friends; It Is Not Our Many Arab Friends. Our Enemy Is A Radical Network Of Terrorists, And Every Government That Supports Them.

We're Creating An Ownership Society In This Country, Where More Americans Than Ever Will Be Able To Open Up Their Door Where They Live And Say, Welcome To My House, Welcome To My Piece Of Property.

It Is Not Reaganesque To Support A Tax Plan That Is Clinton In Nature.

You Never Know What Your History Is Going To Be Like Until Long After You're Gone.

American Nation Will Not Wait To Be Attacked Again. We Will Defend Our Freedom And We Will Take The Fight To The Enemy.
