More quotes by George W. Bush
I developed a reputation as a hothead because I got in the face of a lot of reporters and they thought I was just a hotheaded person. What they didn't understand was that I was motivated by love.
George W. Bush
I feel blessed to have been raised a Texan.
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.
George W. Bush
The Oval Office is a place where there's been, obviously, a lot of amazing experiences over a seven-and-a-half year period. My presidency is one where I've had to make some very tough decisions. I guess some presidencies are kind of - were real smooth, there were no real big issues. Well, that's not the way mine is.
George W. Bush
I vowed to our countrymen that I would do everything I could to protect the American people... That's why I said to Afghanistan: If you harbor a terrorist, you're just as guilty as the terrorist.
George W. Bush
The crew of the shuttle Columbia did not return safely to Earth yet we can pray that all are safely home.
George W. Bush
Wisdom and strength, and my family, is what I'd like for you to pray for.
George W. Bush
We think it is in our nation's interest that Afghan women - or any women around the world - not suffer.
George W. Bush
After 9/11, I told the American people I would do everything in my power to protect the country, within the law, and that's exactly how I conduct my presidency.
George W. Bush
America is a nation of prayer. It's impossible to tell the story of our nation without telling the story of people who pray.
George W. Bush
It is written that adversity introduces us to ourselves.
George W. Bush
One of my concerns is that the health care not be as good as it can possibly be.
George W. Bush
There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.
George W. Bush
We all know the big elephant in the room. The big elephant in the room is African governments. Africa has been totally mismanaged and misruled, but nobody wants to talk about that because of political correctness.
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
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
They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak.
George W. Bush
Saddam Hussein was a unique threat. And the world is better off without him in power.
George W. Bush
I want to live out principles that became a part of my life in my 40s, 50s, and 60s. One principle is the universality of freedom.
George W. Bush
It has sustained me in moments of success and in moments of disappointment. Without it, I'd be a different person. And without it, I doubt I'd be here today.
George W. Bush
