I try to hold my charisma in check.

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
I have just repeated word for word the oath taken by George Washington 200 years ago, and the Bible on which I placed my hand is the Bible on which he placed his. It is right that the memory of Washington be with us today, not only because this is our Bicentennial Inauguration, but because Washington remains the Father of our Country.
George H. W. Bush
I have spoken of a thousand points of light, of all the community organizations that are spread like stars throughout the Nation, doing good.
George H. W. Bush
I have been very happy in the House of Representatives.
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
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
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
Education is not complete unless we teach our children not only how to read and write but the difference between right and wrong.
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
