More From George W. Bush

Our Security Is Assured By Our Perseverance And By Our Sure Belief In The Success Of Liberty.

Congratulations

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.

We Have Learned That Terrorist Attacks Are Not Caused By The Use Of Strength; They Are Invited By The Perception Of Weakness. And The Surest Way To Avoid Attacks On Our Own People Is To Engage The Enemy Where He Lives And Plans. We Are Fighting That Enemy In Iraq And Afghanistan Today So That We Do Not Meet Him Again On Our Own Streets, In Our Own Cities.

I Know What I Believe. I Will Continue To Articulate What I Believe And What I Believe - I Believe What I Believe Is Right.

Mr. Vice President, In All Due Respect, It Is-i'm Not Sure 80 Percent Of The People Get The Death Tax. I Know This: 100 Percent Will Get It If I'm The President.

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

Secondly, There Are Such Things As Roving Wiretaps. Now, By The Way, Any Time You Hear The United States Government Talking About Wiretap, It Requires - A Wiretap Requires A Court Order. [...] Nothing Has Changed, By The Way. When We're Talking About Chasing Down Terrorists, We're Talking About Getting A Court Order Before We Do So. [...]

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

Catholic Schools Carry Out A Great Mission, To Serve God By Building Knowledge And Character... By Teaching The Word Of God, You Prepare Your Students To Follow A Path Of Virtue.

In The Past When Money Was Given From Government To Government, There Was No Accountability, Especially The World Bank Loans. Nobody Was Held Accountable For The Misuse Of World Bank Loans. That Is Why It Is Important To Channel Some Of The Money Through Civil Society Groups.

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 Work In Iraq Is Difficult And It Is Dangerous. Like Most Americans, I See The Images Of Violence And Bloodshed. Every Picture Is Horrifying, And The Suffering Is Real.

We Face An Enemy That Is Brutal. There Is No Negotiation With These People. You Can't Try To Talk Reason Into These Totalitarians.

Right Now, Iraq Is Expanding And Improving Facilities That Were Used For The Production Of Biological Weapons.

Mass Destruction

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

If You Don't Stand For Anything, You Don't Stand For Anything!

My God, The Man Is A Fascist - A Fascist, I Tell You.

You'll Hear People Say It's Racist To Test. Folks, It's Racist Not To Test. Because Guess Who Gets Shuffled Through The System Oftentimes? Children Whose Parents Don't Speak English As A First Language, Inner-city Kids. It's So Much Easier To Quit On Somebody Than To Remediate.

I Believe The World Would Have Been A Lot Worse Off If Saddam [hussein] Were In Power Today.

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.

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.

The Message Is For Everybody Who Wears The Uniform: Get Ready. The United States Will Do What It Takes To Win This War... And This Is An Administration That Is Going To Dedicate Ourselves To Winning That War.

I Would Never Use God To Promote Foreign Policy Decisions. I Recognize That In The Eyes Of An Almighty, I Am A Lowly Sinner, And I Ask For Strength And Wisdom And I Pray For Calmness When The Seas Are Storming, And I Pray For Others.

I Come From A Different Generation From My Dad.

This Business About Graceful Exit Just Simply Has No Realism To It At All.

No Matter How Tough Iraq Became, Removing Saddam Hussein Was The Right Thing To Do For The Sake Of Peace And For The 25 Million People We Liberated.

Well, That's Going To Be Up To The Pundits And The People To Make Up Their Mind. I'll Tell You What Is A President For Him, For Example, Talking About My Record In The State Of Texas. I Mean, He's Willing To Say Anything In Order To Convince People That I Haven't Had A Good Record In Texas.

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.

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.

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.

As Governor Of Texas, I Have Set High Standards For Our Public Schools, And I Have Met Those Standards.

We Know That Men And Women Can Be Good Without Faith. We Know That.

I Recognize I Am Essentially A Failed Human Being In The Sense That I Can't Possibly Live Up To The Expectations Of An Almighty.

Americans Are Rising To The Tasks Of History, And They Expect The Same Of Us.

When You See A Threat, You Just Can't Hope For The Best In This Day And Age, Where Terrorists Are Capable Of Inflicting Damage On The Homeland.

Hoping For The Best

We're Going To Get [bin Laden]. Dead Or Alive, It Doesn't Matter To Me.

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.

The Best Diplomacy Starts With Getting To Know Each Other.

Getting To Know Each Other

One Thing You Had To Learn [after The Presidency] Was That You No Longer Had The Sense Of Responsibility That Became Ingrained In Your System.

Sense Of Responsibility

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

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

George H W Bush

The Great Tradition Of America Is One Where People Can Worship The Way They Want To Worship. And If They Choose Not To Worship, They're Just As Patriotic As Your Neighbor. That Is An Essential Part Of Why We Are A Great Nation. If You're A Jew Or A Christian Or A Muslim, You're Equally American.

Fathers Have A Unique And Irreplaceable Role In The Lives Of Children.

I Frankly Felt Like The Reception We Received On The Way In From The Airport Was Very Warm And Hospitable. And I Want To Thank The Canadian People Who Came Out To Wave -- With All Five Fingers -- For Their Hospitality.

Eight Years Was Awesome And I Was Famous And I Was Powerful.

There's A Lot That I Want To Accomplish.

There Is No Telling How Many Wars It Will Take To Secure Freedom In The Homeland.

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.

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

It's Amazing I Won. I Was Running Against Peace, Prosperity, And Incumbency." —george W. Bush, June 14, 2001, Speaking To Swedish Prime Minister Goran Perrson, Unaware That A Live Television Camera Was Still Rolling.

We Spend Less Time With Each Other Now Than We Did During The Presidency. When You're President, You're Usually Out And Back In The Same Day - At Least I Was. I Just Came From A Trip To The Middle East Last Week, Where I Was Gone For Five Nights, And When I Left, Laura [bush] Was Out Of Town.

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.

Now, We Have Inscribed A New Memory Alongside Those Others. It's A Memory Of Tragedy And Shock, Of Loss And Mourning. But Not Only Of Loss And Mourning. It's Also A Memory Of Bravery And Self-sacrifice, And The Love That Lays Down Its Life For A Friend-even A Friend Whose Name It Never Knew.

This Thaw Took A While To Thaw, It's Going To Take A While To Unthaw.

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

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

One Of The Great Things About Books Is Sometimes There Are Some Fantastic Pictures.

Life Really Is A Series Of Contrasts.

It Should Make People Nervous When Non-transparent Regimes, That Have Announced That They've Got Nuclear Warheads, Fire Missiles. This Is Not The Way You Conduct Business In The World. This Is Not The Way That Peaceful Nations Conduct Their Affairs.

People Forget... That We Structured It So That The Government, Or The People, Would Be Repaid With A Really Good Rate Of Return. And As It Turns Out, That Aspect Of Tarp, That's What Happened.

What's All This Whining About The Environment? They're Always Talking About 'stop The Clearcuts.' I Mean Do The Math People. If We Were Out Of Trees Then We Wouldn't Have Any Clearcuts To Be Complaining About Now Would We?

In My Judgement, When The United States Says There Will Be Serious Consequences, And If There Isn't Serious Consequences, It Creates Adverse Consequences.

Not Over My Dead Body Will They Raise Your Taxes.

Civility Is Not A Tactic Or A Sentiment. It Is The Determined Choice Of Trust Over Cynicism, Of Community Over Chaos.

I Think War Is A Dangerous Place.

I Call Upon All Nations To Do Everything They Can To Stop These Terrorist Killers. Thank You. Now Watch This Drive.

I Want To Live Out Principles That Became A Part Of My Life In My 40s, 50s, And 60s. One Principle Is The Universality Of Freedom.

When You Turn Your Heart And Your Life Over To Christ, When You Accept Christ As The Savior, It Changes Your Heart.

Our Nation Must Come Together To Unite.

I'm Going To Spend A Lot Of Time Trying To Explain As Best I Can Why It's Important For Us To Succeed In Iraq. I'm Going To Do What I Think Is Right, And If, You Know, If People Don't Like Me For It, That's Just The Way It Is.

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.

Anybody Who Is In A Position To Serve This Country Ought To Understand The Consequences Of Words.

On This Day, Millions Of People...throughout The World Will Gather To Commemorate The Life Of Patrick, Patron Saint Of Ireland. From His Days As A Slave In Ireland To His Work As Missionary Years Later, St. Patrick Demonstrated A Courage, Commitment, And Faith That Won The Hearts And Minds Of The Irish People. St. Patrick's Day Also Serves As A Time For People Of Irish Descent From All Traditions And Religions To Honor Their Native Land And Shared Heritage. Their Devotion To Family, Faith, And Community Has Strengthened Our Country's Character.

I Regret That A Private Comment I Made To The Vice Presidential Candidate Made It Through The Public Airways.

Some Call This Civil War; Others Call It Emergency -- I Call It Pure Evil.

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. And I Pray They Will Be Comforted By A Power Greater Than Any Of Us, Spoken Through The Ages In Psalm 23: "even Though I Walk Through The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death, I Fear No Evil, For You Are With Me."

When You're Writing About Something That Happened, It Helps You Transition To The Present. Ironically Enough, By Focusing On Your Presidency, It Helps You Realize That You're No Longer The President. By Reliving Moments, It Helps You Stay Focused On The Moment.

Live In The Moment

Our Two Nations Both Faced Great Challenges When They Were Founded, And Our Two Nations Have Both Relied On The Same Principles To Help Us Succeed. We've Built Strong Democracies To Protect The Freedoms Given To Us By An Almighty God. We've Welcomed Immigrants, Who Have Helped Us Thrive. We've Built Prosperous Economies By Rewarding Innovation And Risk-taking And Trade. And We've Built An Enduring Alliance To Confront Terrorists And Tyrants.

As Iraqi Forces Gain Experience And The Political Process Advances, We Will Be Able To Decrease Our Troop Level In Iraq Without Losing Our Capability To Defeat The Terrorists. These Decisions About Troop Levels Will Be Driven By The Conditions On The Ground In Iraq And The Good Judgment Of Our Commanders, Not By Artificial Timetables Set By Politicians In Washington.

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

It Is Written That Adversity Introduces Us To Ourselves.

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.

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.

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.

I Mean, There Needs To Be A Wholesale Effort Against Racial Profiling, Which Is Illiterate Children.

I Don't Feel Like I've Got All That Much Too Important To Say On The Kind Of Big National Issues.

So I Analyzed That And Decided I Didn't Want To Be The President During A Depression Greater Than The Great Depression, Or The Beginning Of A Depression Greater Than The Great Depression.

Great Depression

We Favor A Strong Nonproliferation Program That Emphasizes Diplomacy, Reliance On Multilateral Regimes, Controls On Nuclear Materials, And Cooperative Nuclear Threat Reduction.

Except When You're Marching To War, It's Not A Very Optimistic Thought, Is It? In Other Words, It's The Opposite Of Optimistic When You're Thinking You're Going To War.

Africa Needs Help, No Question About That But I'd Rather Prefer That The Money Is Channeled. That's What I Call Smart Aid; It's Channeled Through African Civil Society Groups. These Are The Groups Which Can Be Held More Accountable. These Are The Groups Which Will Sort Of Monitor How The Aid Money Is Spent.

When You Know That Somebody Lost Their Loved One As A Result Of A Decision That I Made, That's A Tough Moment. If You're A Faithful Person You Try To Empathize With The Suffering That That Person Is Going Through.

I Hope We Get To The Bottom Of The Answer. It's What I'm Interested To Know.

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.

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

There Is A Difference Between Responsible Criticism That Aims For Success And Defeatism That Refuses To Acknowledge Anything But Failure. Hindsight Alone Is Not Wisdom, And Second-guessing Is Not A Strategy.

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

The German Asparagus Are Fabulous.

I'm Sure Something Will Pop Into My Head Here In The Midst Of This Press Conference, With All The Pressure Of Trying To Come Up With An Answer, But It Hadn't Yet.

"reinvention" Is A Word That Doesn't Fit Into My Vocabulary.

I Wanted To Come To Washington, D.c. And Help Be A Transformative President. And I Think History, When They Look Back, Will Say This Is A Fellow Who Knew How To Make Decisions, And Made Some Tough Ones, Stood By Them, Wasn't Driven By The Latest Opinion Poll, But Was Driven By Some Core Principles From Which He Would Not Deviate.

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

Doing Nothing In The Face Of A Grave Threat To The World Is Not An Option.

There Is Some Who Say That Perhaps Freedom Is Not Universal. Maybe It's Only Western People That Can Self-govern. Maybe It's Only, You Know, White-guy Methodists Who Are Capable Of Self-government. I Reject That Notion.

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 Worry About Protectionists, Which Is Another Way Of Saying Less Competition, Less Trade Around The World. And I View Those As Twins Of Negativity.

I Heard Somebody Say, 'where's (nelson) Mandela?' Well, Mandela's Dead. Because Saddam Killed All The Mandelas. --george W. Bush, On The Former South African President, Who Is Still Very Much Alive, Washington, D.c., Sept. 20, 2007

God Speaks Through Me.

Will You Be A Spectator Or A Citizen? To Make A Difference In This World, You Must Be Involved.

Making A Difference

What You Do Is As Important As Anything Government Does. I Ask You To Seek A Common Good Beyond Your Comfort; To Defend Needed Reforms Against Easy Attacks; To Serve Your Nation, Beginning With Your Neighbor. I Ask You To Be Citizens: Citizens, Not Spectators; Citizens, Not Subjects; Responsible Citizens, Building Communities Of Service And A Nation Of Character.

You Know, I'm The President During This Period Of Time, But I Think When The History Of This Period Is Written, People Will Realize A Lot Of The Decisions That Were Made On Wall Street Took Place Over A Decade Or So, Before I Arrived In President, During I Arrived In President.

I Think, Not Only Al Qaida Have An Ideology; They Have Tactics Necessary To Spread Their Ideology. And It Would Be A Huge Mistake For The United States To Leave The Region, To Concede Territory To The Terrorists, To Not Confront Them.

I Don't Know, Maybe I Made It Up. Anyway, It's An Arbo-tree-ist, Somebody Who Knows About Trees.

Democracies Don't War; Democracies Are Peaceful Countries.

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

The Best Way To Encourage Economic Vitality And Growth Is To Let People Keep Their Own Money.when You Spend Your Own Money, Somebody's Got To Manufacture That Which You're Spending It On. You See, More Money In The Private Sector Circulating Makes It More Likely That Our Economy Will Grow. And, Incredibly Enough, Some Want To Take Away Part Of Those Tax Cuts. They've Been Reading The Wrong Textbook. You Don't Raise Somebody's Taxes In The Middle Of A Recession. You Trust People With Their Own Money. And, By The Way, That Money Isn't The Government's Money; It's The People's Money.

Islam Is A Vibrant Faith. Millions Of Our Fellow Citizens Are Muslim. We Respect The Faith. We Honor Its Traditions. Our Enemy Does Not. Our Enemy Doesn't Follow The Great Traditions Of Islam. They've Hijacked A Great Religion.

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.

I Believe That We Will Succeed In Iraq, Because, One, The Iraqis Want To Live In A Free Society. And, Two, That The Iraqis Want To Take The Fight To The Enemy. And People Want Me To Put A Timetable On Things; That's A Huge Mistake. Putting A Timetable On This - On Our Stay There In Iraq Simply Emboldens The Enemy And Discourages Our Friends.

In Some Cases, The Measured Use Of Force Is All That Protects Us From A Chaotic World Ruled By Force.

I Think If We Have A Policy Of Zero Violence, It Won't Be Met, But The Policy Of Getting The Iraqis In The Fight And Marginalizing Those Who Are Trying To Stir Up Trouble Will Be Effective.

Take The Life Issue. This Issue Requires A President And An Administration Leading Our Nation To Understand The Importance Of Life. This Whole Faith-based Initiative Really Ties Into A Larger Cultural Issue That We're Working On.

This Notion That The United States Is Getting Ready To Attack Iran Is Simply Ridiculous. And Having Said That, All Options Are On The Table

Definition Of Victory Which Is Really An Important Thing For The American People To Understand Is That We Have An Ally In The War On Terror, That Democracy Is Able To Sustain Itself And Defend Itself, And The Iraqi People Feel That The Security Forces That We've Trained Up Are Capable Of Defending Themselves Against The Violent.

Each Congressional Race Really Depends Upon The Candidates And How They Carry The Message.
