George H. W. Bush
I think when you see an aircraft fire, these angry, black puffs of smoke, knowing that one of them could kill you that you - you - you understand the seriousness of the mission. And you understand your own mortality.
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
From last night's All Together Now, a Celebration of Service: There can be no definition of a successful life that does not include service to others.
George H. W. Bush
The defense budget is more than a piggy bank for people who want to get busy beating swords into pork barrels.
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
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
I want to make sure everybody who has a job wants a job.
George H. W. Bush
There is no greater advocate of perestroika than the president of the United States.
George H. W. Bush
I hope I stand for antibigotry, anti-Semitism, antiracism. This is what drives me.
