More quotes by George H. W. Bush
No generation can escape history.
George H. W. Bush
I firmly believed we should not march into Baghdad ...To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant, into a latter-day Arab hero.
George H. W. Bush
The American Dream means giving it your all, trying your hardest, accomplishing something. And then I'd add to that, giving something back. No definition of a successful life can do anything but include serving others.
George H. W. Bush
Old guys can still do fun things.
George H. W. Bush
I don't worry about superpower confrontation. You know, I lived through the Cold War days, and where everybody was worried about a Soviet Union armed to the teeth. I think we're going to get along fine with Russia, and I don't see them as internationally ambitious.
George H. W. Bush
I worry about international terror as a method for bringing about political change or sociological change in different countries. And this concerns me because our homeland is not - we see now, is not immune from this kind of dastardly attack. And so I worry about that a lot.
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
War is never cheap or easy.
George H. W. Bush
Never ask anyone over 70 how they feel. They'll tell you.
George H. W. Bush
It is possible to tell things by a handshake. I like the looking in the eye syndrome. It conveys interest. I like the firm, though not bone crushing shake. The bone crusher is trying too hard to macho it. The clammy or diffident handshake - fairly or unfairly - get me off to a bad start with a person.
George H. W. Bush
I do not mistrust the future I do not fear what is ahead. For our problems are large, but our heart is larger.
George H. W. Bush
There's a second life involved. No matter what your position is on abortion or the death penalty, you shouldn't put a pregnant woman to death.
George H. W. Bush
To those men and women in business, remember the ultimate end of your work: to make a better product, to create better lives. I ask you to plan for the longer term and avoid that temptation of quick and easy paper profits.
George H. W. Bush
A time of historic change is no time for recklessness.
George H. W. Bush
I like a colorful sock. I'm a sock man.
George H. W. Bush
Know what you're talking about.
George H. W. Bush
By the year 2000, all Americans must be able to set the clocks on their VCRs.
George H. W. Bush
I hope my own children never have to fight a war.
George H. W. Bush
In crucial things, unity. In important things, diversity. In ALL things, generosity.
George H. W. Bush
Equality begins with economic empowerment.
George H. W. Bush
