Some who call themselves realists question whether the spread of democracy in the Middle East should be any concern of ours. But the realists in this case have lost contact with a fundamental reality: America has always been less secure when freedom is in retreat America is always more secure when freedom is on the march.
George W. Bush
We can't impose freedom, but we can eliminate roadblocks to freedom, and to allow free societies to develop.

George W. Bush
What ends up happening is people form images and the image they form is, in some ways, what they want it to be. The idea of trying to correct the image is something I'm not interested in doing.
George W. Bush
I will always stand firm to protect the sanctity of marriage. I believe it is important to work with people to find common ground on difficult issues.
George W. Bush
Think about that. Two hundred and eighty-five new or expanded programs, $2 trillion more in new spending, and not one new bureaucrat to file out the forms or answer the phones?
George W. Bush
I'm comfortable moving into the role of elder person.
George W. Bush
There's no question that the minute I got elected, the storm clouds on the horizon were getting nearly directly overhead.
George W. Bush
Democrats didn't agree with policies. How do I know? Because they voted against them when they came up on the floor of the House and the Senate.
George W. Bush

George W. Bush
I wouldn't pick a judge who said that the Pledge of Allegiance couldn't be said in a school because it had the words 'under God'' in it. I think that's an example of a judge allowing personal opinion to enter into the decision-making process, as opposed to strict interpretation of the Constitution.
George W. Bush
We want our teachers to be trained so they can meet the obligations, their obligations as teachers. We want them to know how to teach the science of reading. In order to make sure there's not this kind of federal-federal cufflink.
George W. Bush
