When I was coming up, it was a dangerous world, and you knew exactly who they were. It was us vs them, and it was clear who them was. Today, we are not so sure who the they are, but we know they're there.

More quotes by George W. Bush
I read the newspaper.
George W. Bush
I understand politics and I know there's gonna be a lot of verbage.
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 believe the best way to help our small businesses is not only through small-business loans, which we have increased since I've been the president of the United States, but to unbundle government contracts so people have a chance to be able to bid and receive a contract to help get their business going.
George W. Bush
The law I sign today directs new funds and new focus to the task of collecting vital intelligence on terrorist threats and on weapons of mass production.
George W. Bush
There will be no going back to the era before September the 11th, 2001 - to false comfort in a dangerous world.
George W. Bush
I heard somebody say, 'Where's (Nelson) Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead. Because Saddam killed all the Mandelas. --George W. Bush, on the former South African president, who is still very much alive, Washington, D.C., Sept. 20, 2007
George W. Bush
We believe that by removing a crippling debt burden we'll help millions of Africans improve their lives and grow their economies.
George W. Bush
Reading history while you make history can teach you a lot.
George W. Bush
I want the Iraqis to understand that we are with them and that they have to make tough decisions, and we'll help them make those tough decisions for this country, for this democracy to survive. And they've made some tough decisions.
George W. Bush
Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike?
George W. Bush
But I also made it clear to him [Vladimir Putin] that it's important to think beyond the old days of when we had the concept that if we blew each other up, the world would be safe.
George W. Bush
I had to abandon free market principles in order to save the free market system.
George W. Bush
Tyrants and dictators will accept no other gods before them. They require disobedience to the First Commandment. They seek absolute control and are threatened by faith in God. They fear only the power they cannot possess - the power of truth. So they resent the living example of the devout, especially the devotion of a unique people chosen by God.
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
The lure of heady profits of the late 1990's spawned abuses and excesses. With strict enforcement and higher ethical standards, we must usher in a new era of integrity in corporate America.
George W. Bush
A failed Iraq in the heart of the Middle East will provide safe haven for terrorists and extremists. It will embolden those who are trying to thwart the ambitions of reformers.
George W. Bush
I really think it's important for presidents to exit the stage gracefully.
George W. Bush
Remember the Three Princes of Serendip who went out looking for treasure? They didn't find what they were looking for, but they kept finding things just as valuable. That's serendipity, and our business [drugs] is full of it.
George W. Bush
I don't read books, but I have friends who do.
George W. Bush
