Many People Are Coming To This Country For Economic Reasons. They're Coming Here To Work. If You Can Make 50 Cents In The Heart Of Mexico, For Example, Or Make $5 Here In America, $5.15, You're Going To Come Here If You're Worth Your Salt, If You Want To Put Food On The Table For Your Families. And That's What's Happening.

Religion Is A Personal, Private Matter And Parents, Not Public School Officials, Should Decide Their Children's Religious Training.

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.

As Americans, We Want Peace - We Work And Sacrifice For Peace. But There Can Be No Peace If Our Security Depends On The Will And Whims Of A Ruthless And Aggressive Dictator. I'm Not Willing To Stake One American Life On Trusting Saddam Hussein.

According To Muslim Teachings, God First Revealed His Word In The Holy Qur'an To The Prophet, Muhammad, During The Month Of Ramadan. That Word Has Guided Billions Of Believers Across The Centuries, And Those Believers Built A Culture Of Learning And Literature And Science. All The World Continues To Benefit From This Faith And Its Achievements.

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

There Are Limits To The Smiles And Scowls Of Diplomacy. Armies And Missiles Are Not Stopped By Stiff Notes Of Condemnation. They Are Held In Check By Strength And Purpose And The Promise Of Swift Punishment.

In The Long Run, Stability Cannot Be Purchased At The Expense Of Liberty.

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.

All Who Live In Tyranny And Hopelessness Can Know: The United States Will Not Ignore Your Oppression, Or Excuse Your Oppressors. When You Stand For Your Liberty, We Will Stand With You.

I Hope That's What The Taxpayers Of Great Britain Expect, Is Expect Us To, When We Make Investments In Countries, That They Work. And They Don't Work If A Nation Doesn't Invest In Its People.

Never Paint Your Wife Or Your Mother.

I'm Absolutely Confident That The Actions We Took In Iraq Are Influencing Reformers And Freedom Lovers In The Greater Middle East. And I Believe That You're Going To See The Rise Of Democracy In Many Countries In The Broader Middle East, Which Will Lay The Foundation For Peace.

What's Very Interesting About The Violence In Lebanon And The Violence In Iraq And The Violence In Gaza Is This: These Are All Groups Of Terrorists Who Are Trying To Stop The Advance Of Democracy. They're Trying To Thwart The Will Of Millions Who Simply Want A Normal, Hopeful Life. That's What We're Seeing.

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

One Of The Most Meaningful Things That's Happened To Me Since I've Been The Governor - The President - Governor - President. Oops. Ex-governor.

This New Enemy Seeks To Destroy Our Freedom And Impose Its Views. We Value Life; The Terrorists Ruthlessly Destroy It. We Value Education; The Terrorists Do Not Believe Women Should Be Educated Or Should Have Health Care, Or Should Leave Their Homes. We Value The Right To Speak Our Minds; For The Terrorists, Free Expression Can Be Grounds For Execution. We Respect People Of All Faiths And Welcome The Free Practice Of Religion; Our Enemy Wants To Dictate How To Think And How To Worship Even To Their Fellow Muslims.

It's Your Money. You Paid For It.

Let Me Start Off By Saying That In 2000 I Said, 'vote For Me. I'm An Agent Of Change.' In 2004, I Said, 'i'm Not Interested In Change - I Want To Continue As President.' Every Candidate Has Got To Say 'change.' That's What The American People Expect.

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.

One Thing Is Clear: The Iraqi People Are Showing Incredible Courage. The United States Of America Must Understand That It's In Our Interests That We Help This Democracy Succeed.

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.

I Would Guess, I Would Surmise That Some Of The More Spectacular Bombings Are Done By Al Qaeda Suiciders.

It's Exciting For Me To See [laura Bush] Busy And Out There Enjoying What She's Doing. But We Always Make Time To Be With Each Other As Well.

I Like My Buddies From West Texas. I Liked Them When I Was Young; I Liked Them When I Was Middle-age; I Liked Them Before I Was President; And I Like Them During President; And I Like Them After President.

Listen, I Know Of Nobody -- I Don't Know Of Anybody In My Administration Who Leaked Classified Information. If Somebody Did Leak Classified Information, I'd Like To Know It, And We'll Take The Appropriate Action. And This Investigation Is A Good Thing.

i Dont Have The Foggiest Idea About What I Think About International, Foreign Policy.

I've Made It Clear, Madam President, That The War Against Terrorism Is Not A War Against Muslims, Nor Is It A War Against Arabs. It's A War Against Evil People Who Conduct Crimes Against Innocent People.

I Feel A Sense Of Obligation To Our Troops And Their Families Because Of The Decisions That I Made. So I'm Involved With Veterans.

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.

I'm Mindful In A Free Society That People Can Worship If They Want To Or Not. You're Equally An American If You Choose To Worship An Almighty And If You Choose Not To.

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

I've Changed My Style Somewhat, As You Know. I'm Less - I Pontificate Less, Although It May Be Hard To Tell It From This Show. And I'm More Interacting With People.

We Should Fund The Armies Of Compassion, We Should Not Discriminate Against Faith-based Programs.

I Talked About The Human Suffering In Iraq. And I Also Saw The Need To Advance A Freedom Agenda. Imagine A World In Which Saddam Hussein Was There, Stirring Up Even More Trouble In A Part Of The World That Had So Much Resentment And So Much Hatred That People Came And Killed 3,000 Of Our Citizens. 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. The Terrorists Attacked Us And Killed 3,000 Of Our Citizens Before We Started The Freedom Agenda In The Middle East.

We're Spending Money On Clean Coal Technology. Do You Realize We've Got 250 Million Years Of Coal?

There's Just Something About This Job As President Every President Faces, You Know, That You Think One Thing Going In And Then The Pressures Of The Job Or The Realities Of The World, You Know, Are Different Than You Thought.

The Face Of Terror Is Not The True Faith Of Islam. That's Not What Islam Is All About. Islam Is Peace. These Terrorists Don't Represent Peace. They Represent Evil And War.

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.

There Were Tactical Decisions That I Wish I Could Have Done Differently: Mission Accomplished, Not Revealing My Drunken Driving Charge Prior To My Run For The Presidency, Flying Over New Orleans On Katrina And The Pictures Being Released And People Saying, "he's Aloof And Doesn't Really Care."

There Is Only One Force Of History That Can Break The Reign Of Hatred And Resentment And Expose The Pretensions Of Tyrants And Reward The Hopes Of The Decent And Tolerant. And That Is The Force Of Human Freedom.

I'm The Decider, And I Decide What Is Best.

I Believe That A Prosperous, Democratic Pakistan Will Be A Steadfast Partner For America, A Peaceful Neighbor For India, And A Force For Freedom And Moderation In The Arab World.

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

Suiciders Are Willing To Kill Innocent Life In Order To Send The Projection That This Is An Impossible Mission.

If Affirmative Action Means What I Just Described, What I'm For, Then I'm For It.

The Most Important Need Is To Have A Steady Hand At The Wheel, One Which Does Not Deviate From Its Purpose Depending On Which Way The Wind Blows. The Task Of Keeping America Safe And Secure In An Uncertain World Falls Heavily On The President.

Democracy Will Be Transformative. It Will Help Other Societies Realize The Benefits Of Freedom. Nothing's As Big As That, In Terms Of Peace.

The Liberation Of Iraq Is A Crucial Advance In The Campaign Against Terror. We've Removed An Ally Of Al Qaeda.

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.

Ann And I Will Carry Out This Equivocal Message To The World: Markets Must Be Open.

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.

The Decisions I Made Are Done. And History Will Judge Whether Or Not They Were Correct. There's No Such Thing As Accurate Short-term History.

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

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.

I Hope I'm As Graceful And Gracious As [my Parents] Are. It's Hard For Me To Project How I'm Gonna Be If I Make It To 86.

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

The Oval Office Is A Place Where There's Been, Obviously, A Lot Of Amazing Experiences Over A Seven-and-a-half Year Period. My Presidency Is One Where I've Had To Make Some Very Tough Decisions. I Guess Some Presidencies Are Kind Of - Were Real Smooth, There Were No Real Big Issues. Well, That's Not The Way Mine Is.

I Think War Is A Dangerous Place.

Saddam Hussein Was A Unique Threat. And The World Is Better Off Without Him In Power.

You Can't Put Democracy And Freedom Back Into A Box.

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

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

I Think We Agree, The Past Is Over.

Freedom Itself Was Attacked This Morning By A Faceless Coward, And Freedom Will Be Defended.

About 14 Percent Of Our Nation's Civilian Workforce Is Foreign-born.

Government Does Not Create Wealth. The Major Role For The Government Is To Create An Environment Where People Take Risks To Expand The Job Rate In The United States.

The North Korean Regime Remains One Of The World's Leading Proliferator Of Missile Technology, Including Transfers To Iran And Syria. The Transfer Of Nuclear Weapons Or Material By North Korea To States Or Non-state Entities Would Be Considered A Grave Threat To The United States, And We Would Hold North Korea Fully Accountable Of The Consequences Of Such Action.

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

I'd Also Remind People, If I Were Running For Presidency, That A Long-term Problem Facing The Budget Is Social Security And Medicare.

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.

I [have Big Plans]. Promoting Freedom Around The World, Particularly With Women In The Middle East. Working On Global Disease. Working On Accountability In Public Schools. And Advocating For A Free Marketplace And An Economic Environment In Which Businesses Can Innovate And Create Jobs.

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

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

Today The Iraqi And Afghan People Are On The Path To Democracy And Freedom. The Governments That Are Rising Will Pose No Threat To Others. Instead Of Harboring Terrorists, They're Fighting Terrorist Groups. And This Progress Is Good For The Long-term Security Of All Of Us.

The Ambassador And The General Were Briefing Me On The....the Vast Majority Of Iraqis Want To Live In A Peaceful, Free World. And We Will Find These People And We Will Bring Them To Justice.

I Do Think We Need For A Troop To Be Able To House His Family. That's An Important Part Of Building Morale In The Military.

America's Making A Long-term Commitment To Help The People Of Lebanon Because We Believe Every Person Deserves To Live In A Free, Open Society That Respects The Rights Of All.

So, I'm Lying On The Couch And Laura Walks In And I Say, 'free At Last,' And She Says 'you're Free All Right, You're Free To Do The Dishes.' So I Say, 'you're Talking To The Former President, Baby,' And She Said, 'consider This Your New Domestic Policy Agenda.'

I Don't Care What The Polls Say. I Don't.

We Passed Law That Encouraged Consumption Through Different Purchasing Habits Like, You Know, Hybrid Vehicles. You Buy Hybrid, You Get A Tax Credit. We've Encouraged The Spread Of Ethanol As An Alternative To Crude Oil. We Have Asked For Congress To Pass Regulatory Relief So We Can Build More Refineries To Increase The Supply Of Gasoline, Hopefully Taking The Pressure Off Of Price. And So The Strategy Is To Recognize That Dependency Upon Crude Oil, In A Global Market, Affects Us Economically Here At Home. And, Therefore, We Need To Diversify Away As Quickly As Possible.

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. They Fear Only The Power They Cannot Possess - The Power Of Truth. So They Resent The Living Example Of The Devout, Especially The Devotion Of A Unique People Chosen By God.

We'll Let Our Friends Be The Peacekeepers And The Great Country Called America Will Be The Pacemakers.

Israel Is A Solid Ally Of The United States. We Will Rise To Israel's Defense, If Need Be. So This Kind Of Menacing Talk [by The President Of Iran] Is Disturbing. It's Not Only Disturbing To The United States, It's Disturbing For Other Countries In The World, As Well. Asked Whether He Meant The U.s. Would Rise To Israel's Defense Militarily, Bush Said: "you Bet, We'll Defend Israel."

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 Said You Were A Man Of Peace. I Want You To Know I Took Immense Crap For That.

We Cannot Blame The Schools Alone For The Dismal Decline In Sat Verbal Scores. When Our Kids Come Home From School Do They Pick Up A Book Or Do They Sit Glued To The Tube, Watching Music Videos? Parents, Don't Make The Mistake Of Thinking Your Kid Only Learns Between 9:00 A.m. And 3:00 P.m.

Terrorism Against Our Nation Will Not Stand.

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.

If We're An Arrogant Nation, They'll Resent Us; If We're A Humble Nation, But Strong, They'll Welcome Us. And Our Nation Stands Alone Right Now In The World In Terms Of Power, And That's Why We've Got To Be Humble, And Yet Project Strength In A Way That Promotes Freedom.

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.

The Person Who Runs Fema Is Someone Who Must Have The Trust Of The President Because The Person Who Runs Fema Is The First Voice Oftentimes Of Someone Whose Life Has Been Turned Upside Down Here's From.

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.

...by Allowing Businesses To Expense Up To $75,000, It Means Somebody Is More Likely To Buy A Copying Machine, Or In This Case, An Architectural... Fancy Machine.

The Senate Needs To Leave Enough Money In The Proposed Budget To Not Only Reduce All Marginal Rates, But To Eliminate The Death Tax, So That People Who Build Up Assets Are Able To Transfer Them From One Generation To The Next, Regardless Of A Person's Race.

I Think It's Important To Promote A Culture Of Life. I Think A Hospitable Society Is A Society Where Every Being Counts And Every Person Matters. I Believe The Ideal World Is One In Which Every Child Is Protected In Law And Welcomed To Life. I Understand There's Great Differences On This Issue Of Abortion. But I Believe Reasonable People Can Come Together And Put Good Law In Place That Will Help Reduce The Number Of Abortions.

An All-volunteer Army Is Best Suited To Fight The New Wars Of The 21st Century.

Faith Is The Framework For Living. It Gives Us The Spirit And Heart That Affects Everything We Do. If Gives Us Hope Each Day. Faith Gives Us Purpose To Right Wrongs, To Preserve Our Families, And To Teach Our Children Values. Faith Gives Us Conscience To Keep Us Honest, Even When Nobody Is Looking. And, Faith Can Change Lives; I Know First Hand, Because Faith Changed Mine.

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.

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.

The American People Are Proud To Welcome Your Majesty Back To The United States, A Nation You've Come To Know Very Well. After All, You've Dined With 10 U.s. Presidents. You've Helped Our Nation Celebrate Its Bicentennial In 17 - In 1976.

Nobody Really Likes To Be Lectured A Lot. And, Therefore, If You Want To Be An Effective Person, What You Don't Do Is Scold The Person Publicly All The Time.

I Have Assured His Majesty That Our War Is Against Evil, Not Against Islam. There Are Thousands Of Muslims Who Proudly Call Themselves Americans, And They Know What I Know - That The Muslim Faith Is Based Upon Peace And Love And Compassion. The Exact Opposite Of The Teachings Of The Al Qaeda Organization, Which Is Based Upon Evil And Hate And Destruction.

...the God I Know Is One That Promotes Peace And Freedom. But I Get Great Sustenance From My Personal Relationship. That Doesn't Make Me Think I'm A Better Person Than You Are, By The Way. Because One Of The Great Admonitions In The Good Book Is, Don't Try To Take A Speck Out Of Your Eye If I've Got A Log In My Own.

Americans Practice Different Faiths In Churches, Synagogues, Mosques And Temples. And Many Good People Practice No Faith At All.

This Is Preservation Month. I Appreciate Preservation. It's What You Do When You Run For President. You Gotta Preserve.

The Islam That We Know Is A Faith Devoted To The Worship Of One God, As Revealed Through The Holy Qu'ran. It Teaches The Value And Importance Of Charity, Mercy, And Peace.

For Too Long Our Culture Has Said, "if It Feels Good, Do It." Now America Is Embracing A New Ethic And A New Creed: "let's Roll".

Sometimes It Can Seem That History Is Turning In A Wide Arc, Toward An Unknown Shore. Yet The Destination Of History Is Determined By Human Action, And Every Great Movement Of History Comes To A Point Of Choosing.

Tonight, I Ask For Your Prayers For All Those Who Grieve, For The Children Whose Worlds Have Been Shattered, For All Whose Sense Of Safety And Security Has Been Threatened.

In Time, Perhaps, We Will Mark The Memory Of September 11th In Stone And Metal, Something We Can Show Children, As Yet Unborn, To Help Them Understand What Happened On This Minute And On This Day. But For Those Of Us Who Lived Through These Events, The Only Marker We’ll Ever Need Is The Tick Of A Clock At The 46th Minute Of The Eighth Hour Of The 11th Day.
