More quotes by 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
Never ask anyone over 70 how they feel. They'll tell you.
George H. W. Bush
Now, like, I'm President. It would be pretty hard for some drug guy to come into the White House and start offering it up, you know?...I bet if they did, I hope I would say, 'Hey, get lost. We don't want any of that.'
George H. W. Bush
I have a form of Parkinson's disease, which I don't like. My legs don't move when my brain tells them to. It's very frustrating.
George H. W. Bush
There are truckloads of broccoli at this very minute descending on Washington. My family is divided. For the broccoli vote out there: Barbara loves broccoli. She has tried to make me eat it. She eats it all the time herself. So she can go out and meet the caravan of broccoli that's coming in.
George H. W. Bush
We are not the sum of our possessions.
George H. W. Bush
I think I'd be a better president because I was in combat.
George H. W. Bush
I want a kinder, gentler nation.
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
International exchanges are not a great tide to sweep away all differences, but they will slowly wear away at the obstacles to peace as surely as water wears away a hard stone.
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
We have a right to expect a police force that protects our citizens and behaves in a responsible manner... in the American conscience there is no room for bigotry and racism.
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
The rigidity of those pledges is something I don’t like. The circumstances change and you can’t be wedded to some formula by Grover Norquist. It’s—who the hell is Grover Norquist, anyway?
George H. W. Bush
Lincoln said you cannot be President without spending some item on your knees. I have repeated that and a bunch of Atheists got all over me. Wait a minute. Does that mean that you cannot be President if you are an Atheist? I say yea that does mean that.
George H. W. Bush
Real improvement in our schools is not simply a matter of spending more, it is a matter of expecting more.
George H. W. Bush
We ought to increase legal immigration for our country's advantage. The high-tech world we are now dominating is dependent on educated folks, but we're short...of workers. It is to our nation's advantage to encourage high-powered, smart people to come into our country.
George H. W. Bush
Poland should be strong and prosperous and independent and play its proper role as a great nation in the heart of Europe.
George H. W. Bush
Now that I am no longer President, I find I can no longer win every game of golf I play.
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
