More quotes by 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
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
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
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
Don't confuse being 'soft' with seeing the other guy's point of view.
George H. W. Bush
Every loss of life is terrible.
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
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
There are things we can do to give us a little more attention.... I've got to look more frantic.
George H. W. Bush
I'll be glad to reply to or dodge your questions, depending on what I think will help our election most.
George H. W. Bush
We have ...drawn a line in the sand.
George H. W. Bush
A time of historic change is no time for recklessness.
George H. W. Bush
By the year 2000, all Americans must be able to set the clocks on their VCRs.
George H. W. Bush
The fact is prosperity has a purpose. It's to allow us to pursue the better angels, to give us time to think and grow.
George H. W. Bush
Both must make tangible, immediate steps toward this vision.
George H. W. Bush
This aggression will not stand. With these words, George Bush committed the United States to the liberation of the oil-rich Kingdom of Kuwait, after it had been occupied by the Republic of Iraq in August of 1990.
George H. W. Bush
Think about every problem, every challenge, we face. The solution to each starts with education.
George H. W. Bush
It's amazing how many people beat you at golf now that you're no longer president.
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
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.
