George W. Bush
I don't want nations feeling like that they can bully ourselves and our allies. I want to have a ballistic defense system so that we can make the world more peaceful, and at the same time I want to reduce our own nuclear capacities to the level commiserate with keeping the peace.

If people want to get to know me better, they've got to know my parents and the values my parents instilled in me, and the fact that I was raised in West Texas, in the middle of the desert, a long way away from anywhere, hardly. There's a certain set of values you learn in that experience.
George W. Bush
Perceptions change with time and you can't rush it, in my judgment.
George W. Bush
Many people are coming to this country for economic reasons. They're coming here to work. If you can make 50 cents in the heart of Mexico, for example, or make $5 here in America, $5.15, you're going to come here if you're worth your salt, if you want to put food on the table for your families. And that's what's happening.
George W. Bush
The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands.
George W. Bush
The point is, this is a way to help inoculate me about what has come and is coming.
George W. Bush
There were tactical decisions that I wish I could have done differently: mission accomplished, not revealing my drunken driving charge prior to my run for the presidency, flying over New Orleans on Katrina and the pictures being released and people saying, he's aloof and doesn't really care.
George W. Bush
When it comes time to protecting the homeland, the United States of America must be right 100 percent of the time. And the enemy, which desires to strike us again, only has to be right once.
George W. Bush
I fully understand some people don't believe it's possible for freedom and democracy to overcome this ideology of hatred. I understand that. I just happen to believe it is possible. And I believe it will happen.
George W. Bush
You cannot solve a problem unless you diagnose the problem.
George W. Bush
One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures.
George W. Bush
I think that there are certain principles which should guide decision-making for a president. One such principle was that we're all God's children, and every life is precious. To me, that's a moral statement.
George W. Bush
This is a nation that loves our freedom, loves our country.
George W. Bush
