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
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
I believe with all my heart that one cannot be America's president without a belief in God, without the strength that your faith gives you.
George H. W. Bush
In crucial things, unity. In important things, diversity. In ALL things, generosity.
George H. W. Bush

George H. W. Bush
Thousand points of light.
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 just sit ther and do what I vowed I would never do - talk back to the television.
George H. W. Bush
We have had triumphs, we have made mistakes, we have had sex.
George H. W. Bush

George H. W. Bush
When I need a little advice about Saddam Hussein, I turn to country music.
George H. W. Bush
The United States will continue its efforts to improve our understanding of climate change - to seek hard data, accurate models, and new ways to improve the science - and determine how best to meet these tremendous challenges.
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
Each of the patriots whom we remember on this day was first a beloved son or daughter, a brother or sister, or a spouse, friend, and neighbor.
George H. W. Bush
I think the major event that shaped my life was being a Naval aviator. I got my commission and wings at 18 years old, and then I went into combat at 19. And I think, as I look back on it, that whole experience probably shaped my life more than any incident, or any event.
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
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
Old guys can still do fun things.
George H. W. Bush
We know what works: freedom works. We know what's right: freedom is right. We know how to secure a more and just and prosperous life for man on earth: through free markets, free speech, free elections and the exercise of free will unhampered by the state.
George H. W. Bush
