More quotes by George W. Bush
They've seen me make decisions, they've seen me under trying times, they've seen me weep, they've seen me laugh, they've seen me hug. And they know who I am, and I believe they're comfortable with the fact that they know I'm not going to shift principles or shift positions based upon polls and focus groups.
George W. Bush
We're creating an ownership society in this country, where more Americans than ever will be able to open up their door where they live and say, welcome to my house, welcome to my piece of property.
George W. Bush
They want the federal government controlling the Social Security, like it's some kind of federal program.
George W. Bush

George W. Bush
The fundamental question facing Iraq government is whether or not we will stand with reformers across the region. It's really the task. And we're going to stand with this government.
George W. Bush
The Iraqis needed to know that we weren't going to leave them alone. No matter how difficult it was, the United States would help them realize the universal desire to be free. Now of course, if you didn't believe in the universality of freedom, then of course, you wouldn't act. I care how they live and I believe a free Iraq will be transformative.
George W. Bush
All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: The United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.
George W. Bush
In the past we entrusted money to the government sector and the government sector simply did not spend the money wisely. And that is why we need reforms, but the government sector is not being reformed.
George W. Bush
I [have big plans]. Promoting freedom around the world, particularly with women in the Middle East. Working on global disease. Working on accountability in public schools. And advocating for a free marketplace and an economic environment in which businesses can innovate and create jobs.
George W. Bush
Having purpose. I had purpose during my presidency, and I've got purpose after my presidency.
George W. Bush
First of all, I don't see America having problems.
George W. Bush
We expect the states to show us whether or not we're achieving simple objectives-like literacy, literacy in math, the ability to read and write.
George W. Bush
We spend less time with each other now than we did during the presidency. When you're president, you're usually out and back in the same day - at least I was. I just came from a trip to the Middle East last week, where I was gone for five nights, and when I left, Laura [Bush] was out of town.
George W. Bush
I want him [Saddam Hussein]. I want - I want justice. There is an old poster seen out west. As I recall, it said, Wanted Dead or Alive.
George W. Bush
Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world it is God's gift to humanity.
George W. Bush
I believe in grace because I've seen it and peace because I've felt it and forgiveness because I've needed it.
George W. Bush
Bill Clinton and I are friends we see each other on the speaking circuit. He likes to be visible. I don't. And I draw no judgment either way.
George W. Bush
