Don't try to fine-tune somebody else's view.
George H. W. Bush
I was offered a job on Wall Street by my uncle. But I wanted to get out. Make-it-on-my-own kinda thing.
George H. W. Bush
Old fashioned as it may seem to some, it is my duty to serve my country. And I didn't seek this job but I want to do it, and I will do my very best.
George H. W. Bush
When America is stronger, the world is safer.
George H. W. Bush
I think in defeat you grope for things that are happy, and it's hard.
George H. W. Bush
The Congress will push me to raise taxes, and I'll say no, and they'll push, and I'll say no, and they'll push again and I'll say to them, read my lips, no new taxes.
George H. W. Bush
I remember when I was shot down in that war. I remember how terrified I was. And it made me feel close to my family, and to God, and to life, and I was scared.
George H. W. Bush
But I see history as a book with many pages--and each day we fill a page with acts of hopefulness and meaning.
George H. W. Bush
You got to wrestle with your conscience. You got to listen to people. It doesn't come so easy to me that this is right and that's wrong. It's never that simple.
George H. W. Bush
I can tell you this: If I'm ever in a position to call the shots, I'm not going to rush to send somebody else's kids into a war.
George H. W. Bush
Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective- a new world order-can emerge... We are now in sight of a United Nations that performs as envisioned by its founders.
George H. W. Bush
I got poked in the left eye on the collision. My vision is blurry in that eye. I had to play. It was for coach, and because it was a district game.
George H. W. Bush
Somebody said, Well, you're going to write your definitive book about your life, biography. No, I'm not. I haven't done that. I wrote a book of letters which gives an insight into the real me as opposed to the public perceptions of me. But I'm convinced historians will figure out the things we got wrong and hopefully the things we got right.
George H. W. Bush
Time and again in this century, the political map of the world was transformed. And ineach instance a new world order came about through the advent of a new tyrant or the outbreak of a bloody global war, or its end.
George H. W. Bush
This is a fact: Strength in the pursuit of peace is no vice isolation in the pursuit of security is no virtue.
George H. W. Bush
Competence is a narrow ideal. Competence makes the trains run on time but doesn't know where they're going.
George H. W. Bush
There are things we can do to give us a little more attention.... I've got to look more frantic.
George H. W. Bush
Study hard and you might grow up to be President. But let's face it: Even then, you'll never make as much money as your dog.
George H. W. Bush
Now we can see a new world coming into view, a world where there is a very real prospect of a New World Order.
George H. W. Bush
Abraham Lincoln truly inspired me. It wasn’t just the freeing of the slaves, he kept the Union together. Some people even forget that today. What I think inspired me was the fact that in spite of being the president of the United States he retained a certain down-to-earth quality. He never got to be a big shot, and he cared about people.
George H. W. Bush
