Therefore We Must Enforce Our Laws, But We Will Do So With Justice And Fairness.

We've Cleaned Up More Toxic Waste Sites In Three Years Than The Previous Administrations Did In Twelve.

I Experimented With Marijuana A Time Or Two.

Literacy Is Not A Luxury, It Is A Right And A Responsibility.

The New Rage Is To Say That The Government Is The Cause Of All Our Problems, And If Only We Had No Government, We'd Have No Problems. I Can Tell You, That Contradicts Evidence, History, And Common Sense.

The Last Time I Checked, The Constitution Said, 'of The People, By The People And For The People.' That's What The Declaration Of Independence Says.

Food Is A Big Bargain In America, And You Can Go To These Places, We All Like Them, And You Get Big Portions, And They Taste Good. But They're Higher In Fat Than Ever Before.

We Must Resist The Temptation.

I'm Bill Clinton And I Think You Deserve A Change. That's Why I've Offered A Plan To Get The Economy Moving Again, Starting With A Middle-class Tax Cut.

I Did Attempt To Find Out If There Were Any Secret Government Documents That Revealed Things. If There Were, They Were Concealed From Me Too. And If There Were, Well I Wouldn't Be The First American President That Underlings Have Lied To, Or That Career Bureaucrats Have Waited Out. But There May Be Some Career Person Sitting Around Somewhere, Hiding These Dark Secrets, Even From Elected Presidents. But If So, They Successfully Eluded Me...and I'm Almost Embarrassed To Tell You I Did (chuckling) Try To Find Out.

Music, To Me, Was - Is - Representative Of Everything I Like Most In Life. It's Beautiful And Fun, But Very Rigorous. If You Wanted To Be Good You Had To Work Like Crazy.

So We, Democrats, Have A Responsibility There, Every One Of Us, Both To Try To Treat The Republicans With Respect And As Human Beings To Try To Work With Them On Every Issue We Can, And Then If Those Cannons Are Fired At Us, We've Got To Stand Up And Fight Back. If You Lay Down And You Look Like A Deer Caught In The Headlights, Then You Will Confirm The Assault. And So We Have To Fight Back.

Nearly Every Problem Has Been Solved By Someone, Somewhere. The Challenge Of The 21st Century Is To Find Out What Works And Scale It Up.

Supporters Of Capital Punishment Bear A Special Responsibility To Ensure The Fairness Of This Irreversible Punishment.

Let Me Say This As Clearly As I Can: No Matter How Sharp A Grievance Or How Deep A Hurt, There Is No Justification For Killing Innocents.

Never Tell Anyone To Go To Hell Unless You Can Make 'em Go.

Considering The Current Sad State Of Our Computer Programs, Software Development Is Clearly Still A Black Art, And Cannot Yet Be Called An Engineering Discipline.

I Think That Most Small Amounts Of Marijuana Have Been Decriminalized In Some Places, And Should Be. We Really Need A Re-examination Of Our Entire Policy On Imprisonment...our Imprisonment Policies Are Counterproductive.

I Regret To Say That My Hand Did, In Fact, Have An Improper Relationship With Chelsea Clinton. The Incident Represents A Profound Lapse Of Judgment For Which My Hand Takes Sole Responsibility.

Now, People Ask Me All The Time How We Got Four Surplus Budgets In A Row. What New Ideas Did We Bring To Washington? I Always Give A One-word Answer: Arithmetic.

From Bill Clinton Speech- People Are More Impressed By The Power Of Our Example Rather Than The Example Of Our Power.

Health Care's Complicated, Can Be Misrepresented, It's Personal, It Can Spark Fear, It's Expensive, And The People Who Have Got The Money Want To Keep It.

Islam Is One Of The Fastest-growing Faiths Within America, And America Needs To Show That We're Not Anti-islam. We Are For, For People Being Free And Having Opportunity Everywhere, That... We Did That In Bosnia, We Did That In Kosovo, We Did That In Numerous Other Places In The World.

I Think The Republicans And Conservatives Generally Were Alienated By America's Unsuccessful Effort In Vietnam, And A Lot Of Them, As Henry Kissinger Admitted The Other Day, Never Got Over President Nixon's Impeachment, And Didn't Think, Even Though There Was A Pattern Of Illegal Conduct There, Sanctioned By The White House And Proved By The Tapes And Other Documentary Evidence And Testimony, They Didn't Believe That The Impeachment Was Justified, And They Didn't Think He Should Have Resigned.

Along The Way They're (mlb) Going To Lose Millions Of More American Fans.

There Are Times When Only America Can Make The Difference Between War And Peace, Between Freedom And Repression, Between Life Death. We Cannot Save All The World's Children But We Can Save Many Of Them.

In Our Own Country, We Have Seen America Pay A Terrible Price For Any Form Of Discrimination, And We Have Seen Us Grow Stronger As We Have Steadily Let More And More Of Our Hatreds And Our Fears Go. As We Have Given More And More Of Our People The Chance To Live Their Dreams. That Is Why The Flame Of Our Statue Of Liberty, Like The Olympic Flame Carried All Across America By Thousands Of Citizen Heroes Will Always Burn Brighter Than The Flames That Burn Our Churches, Our Synagogues, Our Mosques.

We Still Have Too Many Americans Who Give In To Their Fears Of Those Who Are Different From Them. Not So Long Ago, Swastikas Were Painted On The Doors Of Some African-american Members Of Our Special Forces At Ft. Bragg. They Are Special Forces. They Do Not Deserve To Have Swastikas On Their Doors.

I Think The Democrats Are Going To Have To Be Willing To Give Up, Maybe, Some Short-term Political Gain By Whipping Up Fears On Some Of These Things - If It's A Reasonable Social Security Proposal, A Reasonable Medicare Proposal. We've Got To Deal With These Things. You Cannot Have Health Care Devour The Economy.

All Americans, Not Only In The States Most Heavily Affected But In Every Place In This Country, Are Rightly Disturbed By The Large Numbers Of Illegal Aliens Entering Our Country. The Jobs They Hold Might Otherwise Be Held By Citizens Or Legal Immigrants. The Public Services They Use Impose Burdens On Our Taxpayers. That's Why Our Administration Has Moved Aggressively To Secure Our Borders More By Hiring A Record Number Of New Border Guards, By Deporting Twice As Many Criminal Aliens As Ever Before, By Cracking Down On Illegal Hiring, By Barring Welfare Benefits To Illegal Aliens.

We Have A Moral Obligation To Make Sure The People Who Are Being Required To Work Have The Opportunity To Work. We Must Make Sure The Jobs Are There.

Everybody Has A Gas-guzzling Car Because People Like Suvs. They Would Like Suvs If They Were Hybrid Vehicles That Had The Same Horsepower And Used Less Gasoline. Instead, What The Auto Manufacturers Are Doing Is Building Suvs That Are Hybrid Vehicles That Use The Same Amount Of Gasoline Because They Up The Horsepower. That's A Decision That They Make To Market Irresponsible Economic Behavior. The American People Like The Suvs, They Have Kids, They, They Need Them, They Get Around In Them, But We Have Options.

Climate Change Is More Remote Than Terror But A More Profound Threat To The Future Of The Children And The Grandchildren And The Great-grandchildren I Hope All Of You Have.

We Know There Are Billions Of Stars And Planets Literally Out There, And The Universe Is Getting Bigger. We Know From Our Fancy Telescopes That Just In The Last Two Years More Than 20 Planets Have Been Identified Outside Our Solar System That Seem To Be Far Enough Away From Their Suns - - And Dense Enough - - That They Might Be Able To Support Some Form Of Life. So It Makes It Increasing Less Likely That We're Alone. But If We Were Visited Someday, I Wouldn't Be Surprised.

You Know, I've Always Been Really Interested In This Stuff, And I'm Going To Read This.

People Can Quarrel With Whether We Should Have More Troops In Afghanistan Or Internationalize Iraq Or Whatever, But It Is Incontestable That On The Day I Left Office, There Were Unaccounted For Stocks Of Biological And Chemical Weapons.

I Have Never Believed We Had To Choose Between Either A Clean And Safe Environment Or A Growing Economy. Protecting The Health And Safety Of All Americans Doesn't Have To Come At The Expense Of Our Economy's Bottom Line. And Creating Thriving Companies And New Jobs Doesn't Have To Come At The Expense Of The Air We Breathe, The Water We Drink, The Food We Eat, Or The Natural Landscape In Which We Live. We Can, And Indeed Must, Have Both.

Our Policy Is Guided By The Principle That We Will Keep Unauthorized Aliens Out Of The United States, Welcome Legal Immigrants, And Protect Refugees From Harm. Our Solutions Rely On Working In Partnership With States And Communities.

I Love The Book Signings, You Know, Because I Get To Talk To Real People, And A Staggering Number Of People Have Said Something Very Specific To Me. "the Family Leave Law Saved My Family," Or "made Our Lives Better," Or, "the Education Aid That You Provided Made It Possible For Me To Go To College." One Man At 50 Years Of Age Got His College Degree.

There Is Nothing More Precious To A Parent Than A Child, And Nothing More Important To Our Future Than The Safety Of All Our Children.

Any Poll Is A Picture Of An Unfinished Horse Race Except The Election Day Polls.

If, Two People Have Good Minds And They're Looking At Problems, If They Agree All The Time It Means One Of Them Is Not Thinking. If They Disagree All The Time, It Means One Of Them Is Not Thinking. They're Just Allowing Their Political Position To Dictate Their Position On An Issue. And I Think That's Unhealthy. And The Public Knows Better.

We Should Pass A Flex Time Law That Allows Employees To Take Their Overtime Pay In Money Or In Time Off, Depending On What's Better For Their Family.

Without Question, Bicycling Is An Efficient, Economical And Environmentally Sound Form Of Transportation And Recreation. Bicycling Is A Great Activity For Families, Recreational Riders And Commuters. Hillary, Chelsea And I Have Bicycles.

People Like Change In General, But Not In Particular.

I Did Not Have Sexual Relations With That Woman, Miss Lewinsky. I Never Told Anybody To Lie, Not A Single Time - Never. These Allegations Are False.

Nothing We Do In This Great Capital Can Change The Fact That Factories Or Information Can Flash Across The World, That People Can Move Money Around In The Blink Of An Eye... Nothing Can Change The Fact That Technology Can Be Adopted, Once Created, By People All Across The World And Then Rapidly Adapted In New And Different Ways By People Who Have A Little Different Take On The Way That Technology Works.

$100,000 Donors Buy Access To Congress And The White House. We Believe It's Long Past Time To Clean Up Washington.

I Love The Hrc. The Initials Are Great.

There's Never A Perfect Bipartisan Bill In The Eyes Of A Partisan.

My Father Left Me With The Feeling That I Had To Live For Two People, And That If I Did It Well Enough, Somehow I Could Make Up For The Life He Should Have Had. And His Memory Infused Me, At A Younger Age Than Most, With A Sense Of My Own Mortality. The Knowledge That I, Too, Could Die Young Drove Me Both To Try To Drain The Most Out Of Every Moment Of Life And To Get On With The Next Big Challenge. Even When I Wasn't Sure Where I Was Going, I Was Always In A Hurry.

I Issued A Number Of Denials To People I Thought Needed To Hear Them

To Avoid Having Bad Things Happen, Learning To Manage Your Anger And To Actually Share How You Really Feel About Something, And Get It Behind You Is One Of The Most Important Aspects Of Growing Up.

We Democrats Think The Country Works Better With A Strong Middle Class, Real Opportunities For Poor People To Work Their Way Into It And A Relentless Focus On The Future, With Business And Government Working Together To Promote Growth And Broadly Shared Prosperity. We Think "we're All In This Together" Is A Better Philosophy Than "you're On Your Own."

She Got To Go To Heaven Four Days Early.

And I Have A Plan To Do Even Better, To End Welfare As We Know It

No One Can Change Yesterday, But We Can All Change Tomorrow.

One Way Or The Other, We Are Determined To Deny Iraq The Capacity To Develop Weapons Of Mass Destruction And The Missiles To Deliver Them. That Is Our Bottom Line.

I Don't Know In My Long Life That I Ever Worked With Anybody That Has Quite The Combination Of Policy Knowledge And Concern, Political Skills, Of A Personal Touch With People, And A Sense Of Innate Fairness That Inspires Confidence.

My View Is There Will Be Problems And Bad People As Long As The Earth Exists, And Since We're Moving Into A Completely Interdependent Global Environment, We're Better Off Building A World We'd Like To Live In When The United States Are Not The Only Military Superpower. That Is, We Need To Build A World Of Shared Responsibility, Shared Benefits, And Shared Commitment To Our Common Humanity.

There's Nothing Wrong With Making Mistakes. Just Don't Respond With Encores.

Sometimes I Feel Like The Fire Hydrant Looking At A Pack Of Dogs.

For 60 Years, Social Security Has Meant More Than An Id Number On A Tax Form; More Than A Monthly Check In The Mail. It Reflects Our Deepest Values - Our Respect For Our Parents And Our Belief That All Americans Deserve To Retire With Dignity.

Rigorously Investigated And Fearlessly Reported, A Crime So Monstrous Is A Passionate And Thorough Examination Of The Appalling Reality Of Human Bondage In Today's World. In His Devastating Narrative, Ben Skinner Boldly Casts Light On The Unthinkable, Yet Thriving, Modern-day Practice Of Slavery, Exposing A Global Trade In Human Lives. The Abuses Detailed In These Pages Are Repugnant, But There Is Hope To Be Found: By Giving Voice To The Victims, Skinner Helps Restore Their Dignity And Makes Crucial Strides Toward Closing This Shameful Chapter In History.
