Terrorists Like Bin Laden Are Serious About Mass Murder - And All Of Us Must Take Their Declared Intentions Seriously. They Seek To Impose A Heartless System Of Totalitarian Control Throughout The Middle East, And Arm Themselves With Weapons Of Mass Murder. . . . Their Aim Is To Seize Power In Iraq, And Use It As A Safe Haven To Launch Attacks Against America And The World.

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

Servant Leadership

George H W Bush

All Americans Must Recognize That The Face Of Terror Is Not The True Faith - Face Of Islam. Islam Is A Faith That Brings Comfort To A Billion People Around The World. It's A Faith That Has Made Brothers And Sisters Of Every Race. It's A Faith Based Upon Love, Not Hate.

Those Who Heralded The Decision Not To Give Law Enforcement The Tools Necessary To Protect The American People Just Simply Don't See The World The Way We Do.

These Demands Are Not Open To Negotiation Or Discussion.

I Believe That God Has Planted In Every Heart The Desire To Live In Freedom.

It's Very Important For Folks To Understand That When There's More Trade, There's More Commerce.

I Regret Not Finding Osama Bin Laden.

Osama Bin Laden

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

It Was Just Inebriating What Midland Was All About Then.

Political Humor

I Ask You To Uphold The Values Of America And Remember Why So Many Have Come Here. We're In A Fight For Our Principles, And Our First Responsibility Is To Live By Them. No One Should Be Singled Out For Unfair Treatment Or Unkind Words Because Of Their Ethnic Background Or Religious Faith.

I'm Not Surprised If We Begin To Uncover The Weapons Program Of Saddam Hussein - Because He Had A Weapons Program.

Mass Destruction

Whether We Bring Our Enemies To Justice Or Bring Justice To Our Enemies, Justice Will Be Done.

I Don't Want Nations Feeling Like That They Can Bully Ourselves And Our Allies. I Want To Have A Ballistic Defense System So That We Can Make The World More Peaceful, And At The Same Time I Want To Reduce Our Own Nuclear Capacities To The Level Commiserate With Keeping The Peace.

Over Time It's Going To Be Important For Nations To Know They Will Be Held Accountable For Inactivity. You're Either With Us Or Against Us In The Fight Against Terror.

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.

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

But 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. If You're A Christian, Jew Or Muslim You're Equally An American. That's The Great Thing About America Is The Right To Worship The Way You See Fit. Prayer And Religion Sustain Me. I Receive Calmness In The Storms Of The Presidency. I Love The Fact That People Pray For Me And My Family All Around The Country. Somebody Asked Me One Time, How Do You Know? I Said I Just Feel It.

Do You Realize We've Got 250 Million Years Of Coal? But Coal Has Got Environmental Hazards To It, But There's-i'm Convinced, And I Know That We-technology Can Be Developed So We Can Have Zero-emissions Coal-fired Electricity Plants.

A Good Run Adds A Little Bounce To My Step. I Get A Certain Amount Of Self-esteem From It.

Using Tax Payers' Money To Provide Liquidity To Wall Street So That The Country Wouldn't Head Into A Depression Was The Right Decision, In My Judgment.

It's A Time Of Sorrow And Sadness When We Lose A Loss Of Life.

Lost Friendship

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.

So Thank You For Reminding Me About The Importance Of Being A Good Mom And A Great Volunteer As Well.

It Says Something About Our Country That People Around The World Are Willing To Leave Their Homes And Leave Their Families And Risk Everything To Come To America. Their Talent And Hard Work And Love Of Freedom Have Helped Make America The Leader Of The World. And Our Generation Will Ensure That America Remains A Beacon Of Liberty And The Most Hope Fill Society This World Has Ever Known.

We Will Make Sure Our Troops Have All That Is Necessary To Complete Their Missions. That's Why I Went To The Congress Last September And Proposed Fundamental - Supplemental Funding, Which Is Money For Armor And Body Parts And Ammunition And Fuel...

We Are Bound By Ideals That Teach Us What It Means To Be Citizens. Every Child Must Be Taught These Ideals. Every Citizen Must Uphold Them.... I Ask You To Be Citizens. Citizens, Not Spectators. Citizens, Not Subjects. Responsible Citizens Building Communities Of Service And A Nation Of Character.

First, We Would Not Accept A Treaty That Would Not Have Been Ratified, Nor A Treaty That I Thought Made Sense For The Country.

America Is The Largest Investor In The Technologies Necessary To Be Able To Say To People, 'you Can Grow Your Economy So People's Standard Of Living Can Improve, And At The Same Time Be Good Stewards Of The Environment'.

I Think It's Important To Bring Somebody From Outside The System, The Judicial System, Somebody That Hasn't Been On The Bench And, Therefore, There's Not A Lot Of Opinions For People To Look At.

There Are Cameras Nowadays That Have Been Developed To Tell The Difference Between A Squirrel And A Bomb.

Our Aim Is A Democratic Peace.

I Confirmed To The Prime Minister That We Appreciate Our Friendship.

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.

I'm Hopeful. I Know There Is A Lot Of Ambition In Washington, Obviously. But I Hope The Ambitious Realize That They Are More Likely To Succeed With Success As Opposed To Failure.

I Believe In The Transformational Power Of Liberty. I Believe That The Free Iraq Is In This Nation's Interests. I Believe A Free Afghanistan Is In This Nation's Interest.

Israel Is Our Ally And In That We've Made A Very Strong Commitment To Support Israel, We Will Support Israel If Her Security Is Threatened.

The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights... Stands As A Landmark Achievement In The History Of Human Liberty.

Look, This Is A Man, He's Got Great Numbers. He Talks About Numbers. I'm Beginning To Think Not Only Did He Invent The Internet, But He Invented The Calculator. It's Fuzzy Math. It's A Scaring - Trying To Scare People In The Voting Booth. Under My Tax Plan, That He Continues To Criticize, I Set A Third - The Federal Government Should Take No More Than A Third Of Anybody's Check.

I Read The Newspaper.

I Encourage Employers To Permit Their Workers Time Off During The Lunch Hour To Attend The Noontime Services To Pray For Our Land.

My Geordie Is Probably Just About As Bad As My English.

There Has Been Some Conditionalities In The Sense That This Debt Relief Is Supposed To Release Resources To Be Devoted To Education, Healthcare And Infrastructure, For Example. In The Past African Government Made Such Promises But They Never Carried Them Out.

It Has Come To My Attention, That Air Pollution Is Polluting The Air!

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.

He's My Man, He Was Great

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

I Would Say The Best Moment Of All Was When I Caught A 7.5-lb. Perch In My Lake. (answering A Reporter Who Asked Him To Name The Best Moment Of His Presidency.)

American Foreign Policy Must Be More Than The Management Of Crisis. It Must Have A Great And Guiding Goal: To Turn This Time Of American Influence Into Generations Of Democratic Peace.

If You Find A Neighbor In Need, You're Responsible For Serving That Neighbor In Need, You're Responsible For Loving A Neighbor Just Like You'd Like To Love Yourself.

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.

Democrats In Washington Predicted That Tax Cuts Would Not Create Jobs, Would Not Increase Wages, And Would Cause The Federal Deficit To Explode. Well, The Facts Are In. The Tax Cuts Have Led To A Strong Economy. Real Wages Were On The Rise, And Deficit Has Been Cut In Half Three Years Ahead Of Schedule.

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.

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

[strong Marriage] Starts With Being Married To A Remarkable Person. And I Am. I Jokingly Say That I Stood Up In Front Of A Crowd Once And Said, "laura's The Greatest First Lady Ever," And Then Realized My Mother Was In The Audience.

The Great Thing About America Is, You Don't Have To Listen Unless You Want To.

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

We Will Build New Ships To Carry Man Forward Into The Universe, To Gain A New Foothold On The Moon And To Prepare For New Journeys To The Worlds Beyond Our Own.

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.

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

I Saw A Poll That Said The Right Track/wrong Track In Iraq Was Better Than Here In America. It's Pretty Darn Strong. I Mean, The People See A Better Future.

This Administration Is Doing Everything We Can To End The Stalemate In An Efficient Way. We're Making The Right Decisions To Bring The Solution To An End.

I Think For Laura [bush] It Was Kind Of A Sense Of Remorse Because She Is Very Close To The Girls. They're Busy Little Souls, And So We Don't See Them As Much As We'd Like To. But Laura Talks To Them All The Time.

After The Bombing, Most Iraqis Saw What The Perpetuators Of This Attack Were Trying To Do.

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.

Thousands Of Trained Killers Are Plotting To Attack Us, And This Terrible Knowledge Requires Us To Act Differently.

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

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.

I Don't Understand How Poor People Think.

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.

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.

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.

I Gave Them A Fair Warning

There's A Lot Of People In The World Who Don't Believe That People Whose Skin Color May Not Be The Same As Ours Can Be Free And Self-govern. I Reject That. I Reject That Strongly. I Believe That People Who Practice The Muslim Faith Can Self-govern. I Believe That People Whose Skins Aren't Necessarily - Are A Different Color Than White Can Self-govern.

"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.

If You've Got Somebody In Harm's Way, You Want The President Being -- Making Advice, Not -- Be Given Advice By The Military, And Not Making Decisions Based Upon The Latest Gallup Poll Or Focus Group.

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.

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

I'm Not Surprised That People Are Unsettled Because Of War. The Enemy Has Got A Powerful Tool, And That Is To Get On Your Tv Screen By Killing Innocent People. And My Job Is To Continue To Remind The People It's Worth It, We're Not Going To Retreat Hastily, And We're Not Going To Pull Out Of There Before The Job Is Done. And We Have Got A Plan For Victory.

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.

Listen, Al Gore Is A Very Tough Opponent. He Is The Incumbent. He Represents The Incumbency. And A Challenger Is Somebody Who Generally Comes From The Pack And Wins, If You're Going To Win. And That's Where I'm Coming From.

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

I Feel Blessed To Have Been Raised A Texan.

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.

The Senator Has Got To Understand If He's Going To Have - He Can't Have It Both Ways. He Can't Take The High Horse And Then Claim The Low Road.

My Relationship With God Through Christ Has Given Me Meaning And Direction. My Faith Has Made A Big Difference In My Personal Life, And My Public Life As Well. I Make Personal Decisions Every Day. Some Are Easy, And Some Aren't So Easy. I Have Worries Just Like You Do. And I Pray. I Pray For Guidance. I Pray For Patience. I Firmly Believe In The Power Of Intercessory Prayer; And I Know That I Could Not Do My Job Without It.

I Don't Know Why You're Talking About Sweden. They're The Neutral One. They Don't Have An Army.

We Also Know That Iraq Is Harboring A Terrorist Network Headed By A Senior Al Qaeda Terrorist Planner. This Network Runs A Poison And Explosive Training Camp In Northeast Iraq, And Many Of Its Leaders Are Known To Be In Baghdad.

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

We Will Allow Private And Religious Groups To Compete To Provide Services In Every Federal, State And Local Social Program.

I Think A Lot Of The National Democrats Believe That, You Know, Iraq Is A Distraction And Not Part Of The War On Terror. They've Said So. And I Strongly Disagree.

Conspiracy Theories Abound In American Politics. I Don't Think We Need To Be Subliminable About The Differences Between Our Views On Prescription Drugs.

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

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.

In The Long Term, To Defeat This Ideology [terrorism] - And They [terrorists] Are Bound By An Ideology - You Defeat It With A More Hopeful Ideology Called Freedom.

There Ought To Be Limits To Freedom.

Ours Is A Nation That Does Not Seek Revenge.

Science Is Important, But So Is Ethics, So Is Balancing Life. To Destroy Life To Save Life - It's One Of The Real Ethical Dilemmas That We Face.

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

I Began My First Cabinet Meeting Since The Terrorist Attacks. As I Stepped Into The Room, The Team Broke Out In Sustained Applause. I Was Surprised, And I Choked Up At Their Heartfelt Support. The Tears Flowed For The Second Time In Two Days.

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

...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.

In Every Instance When My Administration Sees A Responsibility To Help People, We Will Look First To Faith-based Institutions, To Charities And To Community Groups That Have Shown Their Ability To Save And Change Lives.

You Cannot Lead An Alliance If You Say You're Going Alone.

Activist Judges And Local Officials In Some Parts Of The Country Are Not Letting Up In Their Efforts To Redefine Marriage For The Rest Of America-and Neither Should Defenders Of Traditional Marriage Flag In Their Efforts.

My Message Is, Is That Although Some Of You Didn't Agree With The Actions We Took, Now Let's Work Together To Rebuild Iraq, Rebuild Afghanistan, Fight Aids And Hunger, Deal With Slavery, Like Sex Slavery, And Deal With Proliferation. Let's Work Together On Big Issues.

My Mother Always Said, 'when You're Eating Pretzels, Chew Before You Swallow'. Always Listen To Your Mother.

Thirdly, The Explorationists Are Willing To Only Move Equipment During The Winter, Which Means They'll Be On Ice Roads, And Remove The Equipment As The Ice Begins To Melt, So That The Fragile Tundra Is Protected.

Goodbye From The World's Biggest Polluter.

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

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

There's Also Consumer Debt, The Credit Card Debt That Burdens Many Of The Working Families In America. Yes, We Talk About National Debt, And We're Paying A Lot Down. But You're Fixing To Hear Me Tell You Part Of The Remedy For People Who Have Got A Lot Of Credit Card Debt Is To Make Sure People Get Some Of Their Own Money Back.

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.

Freedom Is The Direction Of History, Because Freedom Is The Permanent Hope Of Humanity.

From A Philosophical Perspective, I Want To Fight Off Isolationism And Protectionism, Be It Part Of Another Voice Out There That Says, Wait A Minute, What Matters To Women In Afghanistan Matters To America. An Isolationist Point Of View Says It Doesn't Matter. The Articulation Of "all Life Matters" Helps Frame The Case That It Does Matter What Happens To A Woman In Afghanistan.

After All, This Is A Guy That Tried To Kill My Dad At One Time.

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

One Of My Concerns Is That The Health Care Not Be As Good As It Can Possibly Be.

I Regret The Fact That Saddam [hussein] Didn't Have Weapons Of Mass Destruction That We Thought. I Don't Regret Removing Him From Power.

Mass Destruction

We Must Show New Energy In Fighting Back An Old Evil. Nearly Two Centuries After The Abolition Of The Transatlantic Slave Trade, And More Than A Century After Slavery Was Officially Ended In Its Last Strongholds, The Trade In Human Beings For Any Purpose Must Not Be Allowed To Thrive In Our Time.

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.

If You Take All The Food Aid, America Is By Far The Most Generous Country. If You Take The Direct Aid, We're Very Generous. But When You Add On Our Private Contributions - See, Our Tax System Encourages Private Citizens To Donate To Organisations That, For Example, Help The Folks In Africa. And When You Take The Combined Effort Of Us Taxpayers' Money Plus Us Citizens' Donations, We're Very Generous. And We'll Do More.

Embryonic Stem-cell Research Requires The Destruction Of Life To Create A Stem Cell. That's Why I Think We've Got To Be Very Careful In Balancing The Ethics And The Science.

If I Were A Candidate For Running, I'd Say, "look At What The Economy Has Done." It's Strong. We've Created A Lot Of Jobs. I'd Be Telling People That The Democrats Will Raise Your Taxes. I'd Be Reminding People That Tax Cuts Have Worked In Terms Of Stimulating The Economy. I'd Be Reminding People There's A Philosophical Difference Between Those Who Want To Raise Taxes And Have The Government Spend The Money, And Those Of Us Who Say, "you Get To Spend The Money The Way You Want To See Fit. It's Your Money."

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.
