If You Believe In Making Change From The Bottom Up, If You Believe The Measure Of Change Is How Many People's Lives Are Better, You Know It's Hard And Some People Think It's Boring. Speeches Like This Are Fun, Actually Doing The Work Is Hard.

American And Israel Share A Special Bond. Our Relationship Is Unique Among All Nations. Like America, Israel Is A Strong Democracy, A Symbol Of Freedom, And An Oasis Of Liberty, A Home To The Oppressed And Persecuted.

I Don't Know Whether It's The Finest Public Housing In America Or The Crown Jewel Of The American Penal System.

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

You Are The Most Powerful Cultural Force In The World.

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.

I Tell You, My Fellow Americans, That If We Learned Anything From The Collapse Of The Berlin Wall And The Fall Of The Governments In Eastern Europe, Even A Totally Controlled Society Cannot Resist The Winds Of Change That Economics And Technology And Information Flow Have Imposed In This World Of Ours. That Is Not An Option. Our Only Realistic Option Is To Embrace These Changes And Create The Jobs Of Tomorrow.

More Than Any Other Nation On Earth, America Has Constantly Drawn Strength And Spirit From Wave After Wave Of Immigrants. In Each Generation, They Have Proved To Be The Most Restless, The Most Adventurous, The Most Innovative, The Most Industrious Of People. Bearing Different Memories, Honoring Different Heritages, They Have Strengthened Our Economy, Enriched Our Culture, Renewed Our Promise Of Freedom And Opportunity For All.

Advances In Computer Technology And The Internet Have Changed The Way America Works, Learns, And Communicates. The Internet Has Become An Integral Part Of America's Economic, Political, And Social Life

Sarah, There's A Government Inside The Government, And I Don't Control It.

We Must Teach Our Children To Resolve Their Conflicts With Words, Not Weapons.

Drugs Nearly Killed My Brother When He Was A Young Man And I Hate Them. He Fought Back. And I'm Really Proud Of Him. But I Learned Something In Going Through That Long Nightmare With Our Family. And I Can Tell You, Something Has Happened To Some Of Our Young People. They Simply Don't Think These Drugs Are Dangerous Anymore. Or They Think The Risk Is Acceptable.

Talk To People About What Our Real Choices Are... Our Way Works Better... Stick With Us, Keep Talking And Think How Much Better It Will Be If We Keep Going Forward Together.

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.

There Is No Example On The Planet Of A Successful Economy With Broadly Shared Prosperity And A Shrinking, Weak Government.

One Of The Things That I Realized When I Left Office Was That In The 1990's Citizens Across The World Applied More Power Than They Had Ever Had, As Compared With The Government, Because Of More People Living Under Democracies Than Dictatorships For The First Time, The Power Of The Internet, Which The Young Chinese Used To Basically Change China's Policy On The Sars Epidemic, And Shut It Down, And Because Of The Rise In Non-governmental Organizations Like My Foundation.

One Of The Main Reasons We Ought To Re-elect President Obama Is That He Is Still Committed To Constructive Cooperation... He Appointed Republican Secretaries Of Defense, The Army And Transportation. He Appointed A Vice President Who Ran Against Him In 2008.

I Want Our Nation To Take Responsibility To Make Sure That Every Single Child Can Look Out The Window In The Morning And See A Whole Community Getting Up And Going To Work. We Want These Young People To Know The Thrill Of The First Paycheck, The Challenge Of Starting That First Business, The Pride In Following In A Parent's Footsteps.

The Great Thing About This Game Is That The Bad Days Are Wonderful.

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. And Same Thing Has Happened, By The Way, Though, To School Menus. A Lot Of School Lunch Menus Have More Fat And More Sugar Than Ever Before.

We Are More Connected Than Ever Before, More Able To Spread Our Ideas And Beliefs, Our Anger And Fears. As We Exercise The Right To Advocate Our Views, And As We Animate Our Supporters, We Must All Assume Responsibility For Our Words And Actions Before They Enter A Vast Echo Chamber And Reach Those Both Serious And Delirious, Connected And Unhinged.

Without A High Pain Threshold, You Can't Be A Successful President.

President Obama Has Offered A Plan With 4 Trillion Dollars In Debt Reduction Over A Decade, With Two And A Half Dollars Of Spending Reductions For Every One Dollar Of Revenue Increases, And Tight Controls On Future Spending.

The Future Is Not An Inheritance, It Is An Opportunity And An Obligation.

We Don't Need A Constitutional Amendment For Kids To Pray.

We Live To Prove That Cooperation Works Better Than Conflict.

We Should, All Of Us, Be Filled With Gratitude And Humility For Our Present Progress And Prosperity. We Should Be Filled With Awe And Joy At What Lies Over The Horizon. And We Should Be Filled With Absolute Determination To Make The Most Of It.

I Believe In Religious Liberty. I Believe In Freedom Of Speech. I Believe In Working Hard And Playing By The Rules. I'm Showing Up For Work Tomorrow.

Freedom Of Speech

We [united States] Are The Only Military Superpower. We Have No Idea How Long This Is Going To Last, So We Ought To Get Every Bad Guy We Can And Fix Every Problem We Can.

The Constitution Is A Radical Document... It Is The Job Of The Government To Rein In People's Rights.

It Was Mario Cuomo's Great Gift And Our Good Fortune That He Was Both A Sterling Orator And A Passionate Public Servant. His Life Was A Blessing.

Let Us Do The Work That Is Before Us, So That When Our Time Here Is Over We Will All Watch The Sun Go Down As We All Must, And Say Truly, We Have Prepared Our Children For The Dawn.

What Happened To Us In September, 2001, Is A Microcosmic But Painful And Powerful Example Of The Fact We Live In An Inter-dependent World That Is Not Yet An Integrated Global Community.

I Want To Help Communities Put Welfare Recipients To Work Right Now, Without Delay, Repairing Schools, Making Their Neighborhoods Clean And Safe, Making Them Shine Again. There's Lots Of Work To Be Done Out There. Our Cities Can Find Ways To Put People To Work And Bring Dignity And Strength Back To These Families.

[illegal Immigration] Costs The Taxpayers Of The United States A Lot Of Money. And It's Unfair To Americans Who Are Working Every Day To Pay Their Own Bills. It's Also Unfair To A Lot Of People Who Have Waited In Line For Years And Years In Other Countries To Be Legal Immigrants.

I Love The Hrc. The Initials Are Great.

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.

We Need To Help Younger People Recognize Their Own Capacity To Do Good, And Help Them Discover The Rewards Of Generosity.

From New Hampshire Forward, For Reasons That Absolutely Mystified Me, The Press Thought The Most Important Issue In The Race Was The Middle Class Tax Cut. I Never Did Meet Any Voter Who Thought That.

At The Same Time, Old Confrontations Have Taken On Frightening Urgency, Especially The India-pakistan Conflict Over Kashmir And The Violent Stalemate In The Middle East. Progress On These And Other Global Challenges Requires Us To Develop A Larger Strategy For American Foreign Policy, Rooted In A Fundamental Commitment To Move The World From Interdependence To An Integrated Global Community Committed To Peace And Prosperity, Freedom And Security.

I Support Lowering The Level Of Legal Immigration By A Moderate Amount At This Time. Legal Immigration Reform Must Be Based Upon Principles That Are Pro-family, Pro-work, And Pro-naturalization, Retaining Opportunities For Family Reunification As The Levels Are Lowered. We Must Not Let This Issue Become Divisive In This Country.

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. It Was A Real Relationship Between Effort And Reward. My Musical Life Experiences Were Just As Important To Me, In Terms Of Forming My Development, As My Political Experiences Or My Academic Life.

Let's Create An Integrated Global Community Where We Have Shared Benefits And Responsibilities, And We Don't Fight Because Of Our Differences.

In Our Hearts And In Our Laws, We Must Treat All Our People With Fairness And Dignity, Regardless Of Their Race, Religion, Gender Or Sexual Orientation. . . .

I Am Committed To Curbing The Influence Of Money In Our Political System.

Undeniably, Character Does Count For Our Citizens, Out Communities, And Our Nation, And This Week We Celebrate The Importance Of Character In Our Individual Lives... Core Ethical Values Of Trustworthiness, Fairness, Responsibility, Caring, Respect, And Citizenship Form The Foundation Of Our Democracy, Our Economy, And Our Society... Instilling Sound Character In Our Children Is Essential To Maintaining The Strength Of Our Nation Into The 21st Century.

I Learned A Lot From The Stories My Uncle, Aunts, And Grandparents Told Me: That No One Is Perfect But Most People Are Good; That People Can't Be Judged Only By Their Worst Or Weakest Moments; That Harsh Judgements Make Hypocrites Of Us All; That A Lot Of Life Is Just Showing Up And Hanging On; That Laughter Is Often The Best, And Sometimes Only Response To Pain.

You Can't Say You Love Your Country And Hate Your Government.

I Believe We Can Do Much More To Adapt To The Structural Changes In The Global Economy, Get High-end Manufacturing Back Here, Set Up Clusters Of Economic Activity Where You Have, Among Other Things, Continuous Retraining Of People Well Into Their Middle Years So They Never Become Irrelevant To The Current Job Market.

I Want To Build A Bridge To The 21st Century That Ends The Permanent Underclass, That Lifts Up The Poor And Ends Their Isolation, Their Exile, And They Are Not Forgotten Anymore.

It Might Suprise You To Know I Think I Raised Them Too Much, Too

The People Have Spoken, But It Will Take A While To Determine Exactly What They Said.

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.

Our Campaign Is The Opposite Of 'competence.'

Being President Is A Little Like Being The Grounds-keeper At A Cemetery: There's Plenty Of People Below You But No One's Listening.

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.

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.

Mass Destruction

The Bible Is The Authoritative Word Of God And Contains All Truth.

Promising Too Much Can Be As Cruel As Caring Too Little.

[it] Has A Lot Of Things In It That I Like, But I Think It's Way Too Hard On Financing Things From Immigrants.

I Like The Vegetables, The Fruits, The Beans, The Stuff I Eat Now...all My Blood Tests Are Good, And My Vital Signs Are Good, And I Feel Good, And I Also Have, Believe It Or Not, More Energy.

You Should Have Disagreements With Your Leaders And Your Colleagues, But If It Becomes Immediately A Question Of Questioning People's Motives, And If Immediately You Decide That Somebody Who Sees A Whole New Situation Differently Than You Must Be A Bad Person And Somehow Twisted Inside, We Are Not Going To Get Very Far In Forming A More Perfect Union.

If We Want To Invest In The Prosperity Of Our Nation, We Must Invest In The Education Of Our Children So That Their Talents May Be Fully Employed.

Sometimes There Is A Difference In What Is Legal And What Ought To Be Done.

Together, People With Good Hearts And Fine Minds Can Move The World.

Cooperation Will Save The Future. And America Should Lead It. Every Time Humanity Has Been In Danger Of Extinguishing Itself, Our Consciousness And Our Conscience Have Led Us To Come Together. That's The Big Issue Of The 21st Century.

We Will Lower The Tax Burden On Middle Class Americans By Asking The Very Wealthy To Pay Their Fair Share. Middle Class Taxpayers Will Have A Choice Between A Children's Tax Credit Or A Significant Reduction In Their Income Tax Rate.

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

Making Mistakes

Old Or Young, Healthy As A Horse Or A Person With A Disability That Hasn't Kept You Down, Man Or Woman, Native American, Native Born, Immigrant, Straight Or Gay - Whatever; The Test Ought To Be I Believe In The Constitution, The Bill Of Rights And The Declaration Of Independence. I Believe In Religious Liberty. I Believe In Freedom Of Speech. I Believe In Working Hard And Playing By The Rules. I'm Showing Up For Work Tomorrow. I'm Building That Bridge To The 21st Century. That Ought To Be The Test.

Only The Police Should Have Handguns.

I Got A Letter From 13-year-old Ryan From Belfast. Now, Ryan, If You're Out In The Crowd Tonight, Here's The Answer To Your Question. No, As Far As I Know, An Alien Spacecraft Did Not Crash In Roswell, New Mexico, In 1947. And, Ryan, If The United States Air Force Did Recover Alien Bodies, They Didn't Tell Me About It, Either, And I Want To Know.

What Are The Needs Of The World? What Can I Do That Won't Be Done If I Don't Do It?

We've Had Periods Of Meanness In American Politics. Actually, The Dawn Of Partisan Division In America Was Basically In George Washington's Second Term, When It Was Obvious That He Would Be The First And Only Consensus President.

We Need Not Just A New Generation Of Leadership But A New Gender Of Leadership

I'm Someone Who Had A Deep Emotional Attachment To 'starsky And Hutch.'

Where Are The Jobs Going To Come From?small Business, Manufacturing And Clean Energy. Where's The Money To Finance Them? The Banks And The Corporations In America Today Have Lots Of Money That They Can Invest Right Now.

Through Scientific Discovery And Technological Innovation, We Enlist The Forces Of The Natural World To Solve Many Of The Uniquely Human Problems We Face - Feeding And Providing Energy To Agrowing Population, Improving Human Health, Taking Responsibility For Protecting The Environment And The Global Ecosystem, And Ensuring Our Own Nation's Security. Scientific Discoveries Inspire And Enrich Us, Teaching Us About The Mysteries Of Life And The Nature Of The World.

Technology Really Has Turned Out To Be A Wonderful Thing. . . . So Americans Really Are Tuning In In Positive Ways On The Internet.

Our Democracy Must Be Not Only The Envy Of The World But The Engine Of Our Own Renewal. There Is Nothing Wrong With America That Cannot Be Cured By What Is Right With America.

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.

Thanks To The Leadership Of Vice President Gore, We Have A Government For The Information Age, Once Again A Government That Is A Progressive Instrument Of The Common Good, Rooted In Our Oldest Values Of Opportunity, Responsibility And Community, Devoted To Fiscal Responsibility, Determined To Give Our People The Tools They Need To Make The Most Of Their Own Lives In The 21st Century, A 21st Century Government For 21st Century America.

From The Small Clubs Of The Harlem Renaissance Where He Began Playing Saxophone To World Tours For The Biggest Of The Big Bands, Benny Carter Redefined American Jazz. From The Start, His Fellow Musicians Said The Way He Played The Sax Was Amazing. They Say That About Me, Too. (laughter.) But I Don't Think They Mean It In Quite The Same Way.

Success Is Not The Measure Of A Man But A Triumph Over Those Who Choose To Hold Him Back.

Congratulations

The Era Of Big Government Is Over, But The Era Of Big Challenge Is Not. We Need An Era Of Big Citizenship. There Are Many Important People At This Summit, But The Most Important Title Is 'citizen.' This Is Our Republic. Let Us Keep It!

Politics Is Not Religion And We Should Govern On The Basis Of Evidence, Not Theology.

I Fully Share The Congress's Objective Of Promoting Nonproliferation And Combating Iran's Efforts To Acquire Weapons Of Mass Destruction (wmd) And Missile Delivery Systems. This Issue Remains At The Top Of The Agenda With Russia As Well As With Other Countries Whose Companies May Be Providing Such Assistance To Iran. In The Case Of Russian Entities' Cooperation With Iran, We Have Imposed Penalties Ten Times In The Past And Stand Ready To Apply Them Again Whenever Necessary.

When I Think About The World I Would Like To Leave To My Daughter And The Grandchildren I Hope To Have, It Is A World That Moves Away From Unequal, Unstable, Unsustainable Interdependence To Integrated Communities - Locally, Nationally And Globally - That Share The Characteristics Of All Successful Communities.

When, President Bush Asks Me To Go With His Father To The Tsunami Impacted Areas And Help Raise Money, I Was Thrilled To Do That, Because I Think We Have To Always Keep Looking For Common Ground.

If We Were Being Attached By Space Aliens, We Wouldn't Be Playing These Kinds Of Games.

True Excellence Requires A Worthy Dream, A Good Idea Of How To Realize It And The Courage To Risk Failure To Achieve It.

The Fights I Fought... Cost A Lot --the Fight For The Assault-weapons Ban Cost 20 Members Their Seats In Congress. The Nra Is The Reason The Republicans Control The House.

One Of The Things That I Think We Have Learned Is That We Should All Be Very Careful About Making Predictions About The Future.

The Struggle For Your Own Character Is The Struggle For The Nation's Character.

One Of The Real Dilemmas We Have In Our Country And Around The World Is That What Works In Politics Is Organization And Conflict. That Is, Drawing The Sharp Distinctions. But In Real Life, What Works Is Networks And Cooperation. And We Need Victories In Real Life, So We've Got To Get Back To Networks And Cooperation, Not Just Conflict. But Politics Has Always Been About Conflict, And In The Coverage Of Politics, Information Dissemination Tends To Be Organized Around Conflict As Well.

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.

Positive Energy

Every American Should Have Above Average Income, And My Administration Is Going To See They Get It.

The Power Of Our Example Is More Important Than The Strength Of Our Military.

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.

Our Country [america] Is Still The Strongest Force For Peace And Freedom On Earth.

With Almost No Time To Decide, They [your Loved Ones] Gave The Entire Country An Incalculable Gift. They Saved The Capitol From Attack. They Saved God Knows How Many Lives. They Saved The Terrorists From Claiming The Symbolic Victory Of Smashing The Center Of American Government. And They Did It As Citizens. They Allowed Us To Survive As A Country That Could Fight Terror And Still Maintain Liberty And Still Welcome People From All Over The World From Every Religion And Race And Culture As Long As They Shared Our Values, Because ordinary People Given No Time At All To Decide Did The Right Thing.

Music Is About Communication, Creativity, And Cooperation, And By Studying Music In Schools, Students Have The Opportunity To Build On These Skills, Enrich Their Lives, And Experience The World From A New Perspective.

We Are Moving People From Welfare To Work. On Welfare, We Launch A Quiet Revolution.

I Liked Working With Republicans. We Had Five Pretty Good Years After We Had That Bad Year In '95 That Culminated In Two Government Shutdowns. But Then They Really Decided That They Liked Being In The Majority For The First Time In Forty Years, And They Wanted To Get Some Things Done, And I Agreed, To Get Things I Wanted. It Was All Perfectly Transparent. Everybody Knew What They Wanted And What I Wanted.

We Set Forth On A Journey To Bring Our Vision To Our Country, To Keep The American Dream Alive For All Who Are Willing To Work For It, To Make Our American Community Stronger, To Keep America The World's Strongest Force For Peace And Freedom And Prosperity.

That All Depends On What "is" Is.

This Remains A Very Important Opportunity For The American People To Have Their Day In Court Against Big Tobacco And Its Marketing Practices. I Urge Congress To Provide The Funding To Allow The Lawsuit To Move Forward, And Not To Shield The Tobacco Industry From The Consequences Of Its Actions.

We Are A People Of Faith. We Have Been So Secure In That Faith That We Have Enshrined In Our Constitution Protection For People Who Profess No Faith. And Good For Us For Doing So. That Is What The First Amendment Is All About.

Learning Improves In School Environments Where There Are Comprehensive Music And Arts Programs. They Increase The Ability Of Young People To Do Math. They Increase The Ability Of Young People To Read. And Most Important Of All, They're A Lot Of Fun.

Marijuana Is Ten Times More Dangerous Than Twenty Years Ago.

What You Earn Depends On What You Learn.

Internet Technology

Information Technology

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.

In The Whole History Of This Country, We Have Probably Won More Friends From The Power Of Our Example Than From The Power Of Our Military.

Simply Put, No Society Can Truly Flourish If It Stifles The Dreams And Productivity Of Half Its Population. Happily, I See Evidence All Over The World That Women Are Gaining Social And Economic Power That They Never Had Before. This Is Good News.

I Would Never Approach A Small-breasted Woman.

Constant Conflict Is Actually Often Good Politics. Because The More You Can Inflame Your Supporters The More Likely They Are To Show Up At Election Day. And If They're More Inflamed Than The Other Side, Even If The Other Side Has More People Agreeing With It, You'll Win, Because Your Crowd Will Show Up.

Sharing In God's Blessings Is At The Heart Of Thanksgiving And At The Core Of The American Spirit.

The Only Preparation For Prospering In The Global Economy Is Investing In Ourselves.

You Live In The Age Of Interdependence. Borders Don't Count For Much Or Stop Much, Good Or Bad, Anymore.

Interdependence

This Will Arguably Be The Third Great Revolution Of America, If We Can Prove That We Literally Can Live Without Having A Dominant European Culture.

I Was Also Very Concerned About Protecting My Family.

Being President Is Like Running A Cemetery: You've Got A Lot Of People Under You And Nobody's Listening.

During The Sole Argument We Had When [chelsea] Was In High School, The Subject Of Which I Don't Even Remember, I Looked At Her And Said, 'as Long As You're In This House, Being President Is My Second Most Important Job'.

I Might Not Be The Same, But That's Not Important/no Freedom Till We're Equal, Damn Right I Support It

Life's Real Victories Must Be Shared.

Americans - Not Just Starting Thirty Years Ago But Going Back To The Beginning, When We Were Rebelling Against King George - We've Always Been Of Two Minds About The Government, Which Is Why The Framers Wrote The Constitution The Way They Did.

If You Wanted To Create Jobs In A Way That Has Minimal Effect On The Deficit But Has Government Action, The Two Best Things You Could Do Are The Infrastructure Bank And A Simple Sba-like Loan Guarantee For All Building Retrofits, Where The Contractor Or The Energy-service Company Guarantees The Savings. So That Allows The Bank To Loan Money To Let A School Or A College Or A Hospital Or A Museum Or A Commercial Building Unencumbered By Debt To Loan It On Terms That Are Longer, So You Can Pay It Back Only From Your Utility Savings. You Could Create A Million Jobs Doing That.

41, You Look Great. Love What You're Doing.

It Is Now Conceivable That Our Children's Children Will Know The Term Cancer Only As A Constellation Of Stars.

I Tried Marijuana Once Or Twice In England, But Didn't Like It. I Didn't Inhale.

This Is A Huge Problem. If We Don't Deal With This Within Just A Few Years, You Will Have Island Nations Flooded; You Will Have The Agricultural Balance Of Most Countries Completely Changed; You Will Have A Dramatic Increase In The Number Of Severe, Unmanageable Weather Events... And The Good News Is That We Can Now Deal With This Problem - And Strengthen Our Economic Growth, Not Weaken It.

Thomas Jefferson Believed That To Preserve The Very Foundations Of Our Nation, We Would Need Dramatic Change From Time To Time. Well, My Fellow Americans, This Is Our Time. Let Us Embrace It.

If You Are Focusing Your Anger At Government, You Are Focusing Your Anger At All Of Us. Government Is Just A Personification Of This Country.

Personification

No We Can't Cast Ourselves As Liberals.

The Purpose Of Government Is To Rein In The Rights Of The People.

Politics Is For People Who Are Too Ugly To Get Into Showbusiness.

Sometimes I Think The Environment In Which We Operate Is Entirely Too Secular. The Fact That We Have Freedom Of Religion Doesn't Mean We Need To Try To Have Freedom From Religion

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

...the Fact [is] That Our Borders Leak Like A Sieve: Those Things Cannot Be Permitted To Continue In Good Conscience.

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 In Our Lifetimes Has Been More Heartening Than When People Of The Former Soviet Union And Central Europe Broke The Grip Of Communism. We Have Aided Their Progress And I Am Proud Of It.

Torture Must Only Be Hypothetical Exception, Not Us Policy.

If You Want To Live Like A Republican, Vote Like A Democrat.

The First Thing I Had To Start With Was, You Know, We Don't Have A War. We Don't Have A Depression, We Don't Have A Cold War.

It Appears That Some School Officials, Teachers, And Parents Have Assumed That Religious Expression Of Any Type Is Either Inappropriate Or Forbidden Altogether In Public Schools; However, Nothing In The First Amendment Converts Our Public Schools Into Religion-free Zones.

Ultimately, The Best Strategy To Ensure Our Security And To Build A Durable Peace Is To Support The Advance Of Democracy Elsewhere. Democracies Don't Attack Each Other.

Everybody Counts, Everybody Deserves A Chance, Everybody Has A Responsible Role To Play And We All Do Better When We Work Together.

Working Together

Turning 50 Gives Me More Yesterdays Than Tomorrows.

I Am Grateful To President George W. Bush For Pepfar, Which Is Saving The Lives Of Millions Of People In Poor Countries And To Both Presidents Bush For The Work We've Done Together After The South Asia Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina And The Haitian Earthquake.

A Great Democracy Doesn't Make It Harder To Vote Than To Buy An Assault Weapon.

Assault Weapons

It Is Important To Me That Everybody Who Has Been Hurt Know That The Sorrow I Feel Is Genuine. First And Most Important, My Family, My Friends, My Staff, My Cabinet, Monica Lewinsky And Her Family And The American People. I Have Asked All For Their Forgiveness.

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

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.

We Are Here To Celebrate The Completion Of The First Survey Of The Entire Human Genome. Without A Doubt, This Is The Most Important, Most Wondrous Map Ever Produced By Human Kind.

Thomas Jefferson Understood The Greater Purpose Of The Liberty That Our Founding Fathers Sought During The Creation Of Our Nation. Although It Was Against The British That The Colonists Fought For Political Rights, The True Source Of The Rights Of Man Was Clearly Stated In The Declaration Of Independence. Jefferson Wrote That All Humans Are Endowed By Their Creator With Certain Unalienable Rights . . . . It Was Self-evident To Him That Denying These Rights Was Wrong And That He And Others Must Struggle To Win What Was Theirs.

I Ask That All Americans Demonstrate In Their Personal And Public Lives... The High Ethical Standards That Are Essential To Good Character And To The Continued Success Of Our Nation.

Ethical Standards

Today, Many Companies Are Reporting That Their Number One Constraint On Growth Is The Inability To Hire Workers With The Necessary Skills.

Our Big Goal Should Be To Make Connection To The Internet As Common As Connection To Telephones Is Today.

Every Tax Cut I Call For Is Targeted, It's Responsible And It Is Paid For Within My Balanced Budget Plan. My Tax Cuts Will Not Undermine Our Economy. They Will Speed Economic Growth.

Character Doesn't Matter.

My Fellow Americans, All Of Us In This Grand Hall And Everybody Watching At Home, When We Vote In This Election, We'll Be Deciding What Kind Of Country We Want To Live In. If You Want A Winner-take-all, You're-on-your-own Society, You Should Support The Republican Ticket. But If You Want A Country Of Shared Opportunities And Shared Responsibility, A We're-all-in-this-together Society, You Should Vote For Barack Obama And Joe Biden.

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.

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.

I Believe That A Worthwhile Life Is Defined By A Kind Of Spiritual Journey And A Sense Of Obligation.

I Want The Ability To Monitor High-tech Communications Among Far-flung Terrorists. I Want To Be Able To Have Our People Learn Their Plans Before They Strike. That's The Key.

Great Rewards Will Come To Those Who Can Live Together, Learn Together, Work Together, Forge New Ties That Bind Together.

Working Together

The More Children See Of Violence, The More Numb They Are To The Deadly Consequences Of Violence. Now, Video Games Like 'mortal Kombat,' 'killer Instinct,' And 'doom,' The Very Game Played Obsessively By The Two Young Men Who Ended So Many Lives In Littleton, Make Our Children More Active Participants In Simulated Violence.

After Years Of Denial And Deception, The Philip Morris Company Has Admitted That Cigarette Smoking Causes Lung Cancer And Other Diseases. This Formal Acknowledgment Comes Far Too Late But Still We Must All Welcome It. It Can Be The Beginning Of Clearing The Air.

If You Live Long Enough, You'll Make Mistakes. But If You Learn From Them, You'll Be A Better Person. It's How You Handle Adversity, Not How It Affects You. The Main Thing Is Never Quit, Never Quit, Never Quit.

Millions Of People Of Color Still Experience Racism Daily.

Forget What You May Have Heard About A Digital Divide Or Worries That The World Is Splintering Into 'info Haves' And 'info Have-nots.' The Fact Is, Technology Fosters Equality, And It's Often The Relatively Cheap And Mundane Devices That Do The Most Good.

The Divide Of Race Has Been America's Constant Curse. Each New Wave Of Immigrants Gives New Targets To Old Prejudices. Prejudice And Contempt, Cloaked In The Pretense Of Religious Or Political Conviction, Are No Different. They Have Nearly Destroyed Us In The Past. They Plague Us Still.
