One Of The Most Meaningful Things That's Happened To Me Since I've Been The Governor - The President - Governor - President. Oops. Ex-governor. I Went To Bethesda Naval Hospital To Give A Fellow A Purple Heart, And At The Same Moment I Watched Him-get A Purple Heart For Action In Iraq - And At That Same - Right After I Gave Him The Purple Heart, He Was Sworn In As A Citizen Of The United States - A Mexican Citizen, Now A United States Citizen.

This Storm Is Dangerous

Quotas Are Bad For America. It's Not The Way America Is All About.

Our Enemies Are A Radical Network Of Terrorists - And Every Government That Supports Them.

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.

Neither In French Nor In English Nor In Mexican.

I Am A Person Who Looks Long-term, And I Recognize The Path We Need To Take. There Will Be Moments When People Are Unhappy And Disgruntled With Some Decision-making. Nonetheless, What Matters Most Is To Reach The Destination. And My Job As President Is To See Clearly Where I Want To Go And Be Steadfast In My Resolve To Realize That Vision

They Misunderestimated Me.

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.

We Shouldn't Fear A World That Is More Interacted.

My Job Is To Make Sure That, As President, People Understand That In This Country You Can Worship Any Way You Choose. And I'll Take That A Step Further. You Can Be A Patriot If You Don't Believe In The Almighty. You Can Honor Your Country And Be As Patriotic As Your Neighbor.

I Don't Mind Comments Saying Things About Me. I Do Mind Them Saying Things About Those Young, Brave Men And Women Who Have Volunteered. That's Offensive To Me That People Would Say Those Kind Of Comments About Americans Who Have Volunteered To Take The Fight To The Enemy.

Life Really Is A Series Of Contrasts.

The Decisions We Make In Washington Have A Direct Impact On The People In Our Country, Obviously.

Decisions We Make

Forms Of Government Matter, In My Opinion. It Matters How -- The Nature Of The Government In Which People Live.

If Someone Committed A Crime, They Will No Longer Work In My Administration.

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

Democrats Don't Want You To Know What Their Tax Plans Are. They Just Don't Want You To Know.

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.

Uganda's Budget Is 40 Percent Aid-dependent. Ghana's Budget Is 50 Percent Aid-dependent. Even If You Cancel The Debt, You Don't Eliminate That Aid Dependency. This Is What I Mean By Getting To The Fundamental Root Causes Of The Problem. Government, The State Sectors In Many African Countries Need To Be Slashed So That, You Know, You Put A Greater Deal Of Reliance On The Private Sector. The Private Sector Is The Engine Of Growth. Africa's Economy Needs To Grow But They're Not Growing.

Nearly All Americans Have Ancestors Who Braved The Oceans - Liberty-loving Risk Takers In Search Of An Ideal - The Largest Voluntary Migrations In Recorded History... Immigration Is Not Just A Link To America's Past; It's Also A Bridge To America's Future.

The Challenge In Iraq Is To Provide A Security Plan Such That A Political Process Can Go Forward. I'm Sure You All Are Tired Of Hearing Me Say 12 Million Iraqi Voted. But It's An Indication About The Desire For People To Live In A Free Society. That's What That Means. The Only Way To Defeat Al Qaida Ideology In The Long Term Is To Defeat It Through Another Ideology, A Competing Ideology, One That - Where Government Responds To The Will Of The People.

I'm Telling America We Need To Not Discriminate Against Faith-based Programs. We Need To Welcome Them So Our Society Is More Wholesome, More Welcoming, And More Hopeful For Every Single Citizen.

I Will Have A Foreign-handed Foreign Policy.

Outwit, Outlast, Outplay. It's The Tagline For The Television Show Survivor And It's Damn Near What Presidenting Is Like, Too.

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

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.

I Told You I'm Not Going To Criticize My Successor. I'll Just Tell You That There Are People At Gitmo That Will Kill American People At A Drop Of A Hat And I Don't Believe That Persuasion Isn't Going To Work. Therapy Isn't Going To Cause Terrorists To Change Their Mind.

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

If The Terriers And Bariffs Are Torn Down, This Economy Will Grow.

We Will Export Death And Violence To The Four Corners Of The Earth In Defense Of Our Great Nation.

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?

We're Fighting People That Hates Our Values, They Can't Stand What America Stands For.

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.

After 9/11, I Told The American People I Would Do Everything In My Power To Protect The Country, Within The Law, And That's Exactly How I Conduct My Presidency.

Our Job Is To Help Iraq Forces Be Better Equipped, To Help Their Police Be Able To Deal With These Extremists And To Help Their Government Succeed.

The Reason We Start A War Is To Fight A War, Win A War, Thereby Causing No More War!

I Think It Is A Worthy Goal In America To Have Every Child Protected By Law And Welcomed In Life. I Also Think We Ought To Continue To Have Good Adoption Law As An Alternative To Abortion.

I'm Not That Worried About [my Parents] Right Now Because They Are Happy People. I'm Pleased That In Their Later Years, In Spite Of Physical Ailments, They're Upbeat.

So Many People Commute In This Country By Car Long Enough Distances To Really Cut Into Their Income, Their Real Income, That They Would Change Their Vote Based On Gas Prices.

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

We Had A Shared Experience. That Makes A Good Marriage Better. In Many Ways Our Marriage Is Great Because She Has Made It Great.

Our New Faith-based Laws Have Removed Government As A Roadblock To People Of Faith Who Hear The Call.

To The Captives, 'come Out,' -- And To Those In Darkness, 'be Free.'

We're Supposed To Have Guns. It Says So In The Bible; And The Second Greatest Book Ever Written, The Texas State Constitution.

Some Have Argued That Confronting The Threat From Iraq Could Detract From The War Against Terror. To The Contrary, Confronting The Threat Posed By Iraq Is Crucial To Winning The War On Terror.

My Point Is That She's [laura Bush] Busy And I'm Busy, Which Makes Our Marriage Not Only Interesting But Exciting.

I Can Press When There Needs To Be Pressed; I Can Hold Hands When There Needs To Be - Hold Hands.

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.

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.

I'm Going To Spend A Lot Of Time On Social Security. I Enjoy It. I Enjoy Taking On The Issue. I Guess, It's The Mother In Me.

Eid Is A Time Of Joy, After A Season Of Fasting And Prayer And Reflection. Each Year, The End Of Ramadan Means Celebration And Thanksgiving For Millions Of Americans. And Your Joy During This Season Enriches The Life Of Our Great Country. This Year, Eid Is Celebrated At The Same Time As Hanukkah And Advent. So It's A Good Time For People Of These Great Faiths, Islam, Judaism And Christianity, To Remember How Much We Have In Common: Devotion To Family, A Commitment To Care For Those In Need, A Belief In God And His Justice, And The Hope For Peace On Earth.

The Terrorists Know That The Outcome Will Leave Them Emboldened Or Defeated. So They Are Waging A Campaign Of Murder And Destruction. And There Is No Limit To The Innocent Lives They Are Willing To Take.

George H W Bush

International Law? I Better Call My Lawyer; He Didn't Bring That Up To Me.

George H. W. Bush. He's Been A Classy Guy In His Post-presidency.

George H W Bush

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.

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.

The Best Way To Defend America In This World We Live In Is To Stay On The Offense.

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.

Over The Past Month, Muslims Have Fasted, Taking No Food Or Water During Daylight Hours, In Order To Refocus Their Minds On Faith And Redirect Their Hearts To Charity. Muslims Worldwide Have Stretched Out A Hand Of Mercy To Those In Need. Charity Tables At Which The Poor Can Break Their Fast Line The Streets Of Cities And Towns.

King Fahd Was A Man Of Wisdom And A Leader Who Commanded Respect Throughout The Entire World. He Was A Friend And Strong Ally Of The United States For Decades.

We're Taking Action Against Evil People. Because This Great Nation Of Many Religions Understands, Our War Is Not Against Islam, Or Against Faith Practiced By The Muslim People. Our War Is A War Against Evil. This Is Clearly A Case Of Good Versus Evil, And Make No Mistake About It - Good Will Prevail.

It Is Written That Adversity Introduces Us To Ourselves.

I Was Always At About 70/30. About 70 Percent Of The People Of My District Appreciated Me, And About 30 Percent Had Quite Another View Of Me.

I'm Not A Textbook Player. I'm A Gut Player.

Well, I'm Reading About The Battle Of New Orleans Right Now. I've Got An Eclectic Reading List.

But The True Threats To Stability And Peace Are These Nations That Are Not Very Transparent, That Hide Behind The-that Don't Let People In To Take A Look And See What They're Up To. They're Very Kind Of Authoritarian Regimes. The True Threat Is Whether Or Not One Of These People Decide, Peak Of Anger, Try To Hold Us Hostage, Ourselves; The Israelis, For Example, To Whom We'll Defend, Offer Our Defenses; The South Koreans.

This Is A World That Is Much More Uncertain Than The Past. In The Past We Were Certain, We Were Certain It Was Us Versus The Russians In The Past. We Were Certain, And Therefore We Had Huge Nuclear Arsenals Aimed At Each Other To Keep The Peace. That's What We Were Certain Of... You See, Even Though It's An Uncertain World, We're Certain Of Some Things. We're Certain That Even Though The "evil Empire" May Have Passed, Evil Still Remains.

I Dont Want To Win? If That Were The Case Why The Heck Am I On The Bus 16 Hours A Day, Shaking Thousands Of Hands, Giving Hundreds Of Speeches, Getting Pillared In The Press And Cartoons And Still Staying On Message To Win?

America Will Not Pretend That Jailed Dissidents Prefer Their Chains, Or That Women Welcome Humiliation And Servitude, Or That Any Human Being Aspires To Live At The Mercy Of Bullies.... ...liberty Will Come To Those Who Love It.

In Terms Of The Economy, Look, I Inherited A Recession, I Am Ending On A Recession.

I Believe That God Wants Me To Be President.

If You Believe That The Job Of The Federal Government Is To Secure This Country, It's Really Important For You To Understand That Success In Iraq Is Part Of Securing The Country.

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.

This Foreign Policy Stuff Is A Little Frustrating.

It's Exciting; I Don't Know Whether I'm Going To Win Or Not. I Think I Am. I Do Know I'm Ready For The Job. And, If Not, That's Just The Way It Goes.

I've Been In The Bible Every Day Since I've Been The President.

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.

One Of The Biggest Sacrifices In Running For President, If There Is One, Is The Loss Of Anonymity.

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. And That's Powerful. It's Hard For Me To Describe To You What That Means. It's-let Me Just Say This: It's A Leap Of Faith To Understand.

There Are Prayers That Help Us Last Through The Day, Or Endure The Night. There Are Prayers Of Friends And Strangers, That Give Us Strength For The Journey. And There Are Prayers That Yield Our Will To A Will Greater Than Our Own.

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.

We Really Don't Need The United Nations Approval To Act. When It Comes To Our Security, We Do Not Need Anyones Permission.

We Don't Believe In Planners And Deciders Making The Decisions On Behalf Of Americans.

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.

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.

Saddam Hussein's Regime Is A Gray And Gathering Danger.

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.

Through Centuries Of Struggle, Jews Across The World Have Been Witnesses Not Only Against The Crimes Of Men, But For Faith In God And God Alone. Theirs Is A Story Of Defiance And Oppression, And Patience In Tribulation Reaching Back To The Exodus And Their Exile. That Story Continued In The Founding Of The State Of Israel. That Story Continues In The Defense Of The State Of Israel.

I Have Zero Desire To Be In The Limelight.

After All, Religion Has Been Around A Lot Longer Than Darwinism.

I Faced A Lot Of Criticism As President. I Didn't Like Hearing People Claim That I Lied About Iraq's Weapons Of Mass Destruction Or Cut Taxes To Benefit The Rich. But The Suggestion That I Was Racist Because Of The Response To Katrina Represented An All-time Low.

Mass Destruction

Prayer Has Comforted Us In Sorrow And Will Help Strengthen Us For The Journey Ahead.

Everything Happens For A Reason

Wars Are Fought On Objectives, Not On Timetable, And That's Why I've Been So Insistent Upon Not Allowing Ourselves To Have Policy Driven By Time Table, But By Objective.

You Know, What's Interesting About Washington...it's The Kind Of Place Where Second-guessing Has Become Second-nature.

Some Who Call Themselves Realists Question Whether The Spread Of Democracy In The Middle East Should Be Any Concern Of Ours.

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.
