More quotes by George W. Bush
The great contest for the presidency is about the future, who can lead, who can get things done.
George W. Bush
From the beginning, I said that Israel, one, has a right to defend herself, but Israel ought to be cautious about how she defends herself. Israel's a democratically elected government. They make decisions on their own sovereignty. It's their decision-making that is what leads to the tactics they chose.
George W. Bush
Sometimes it can seem that history is turning in a wide arc, toward an unknown shore. Yet the destination of history is determined by human action, and every great movement of history comes to a point of choosing.
George W. Bush
I'm going to be involved with freedom I'm going to be involved in the marketplace I'm going to be involved in the accountability in schools.
George W. Bush
Our war on terror begins with al-Qaida, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated.
George W. Bush
I fully understand it's important to maintain the separation of church and state. We don't want the state to become the church, nor do we want the church to become the state.
George W. Bush
If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. If the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of.
George W. Bush
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
we're too great a nation to allow the evil-doers to affect our soul and our spirit.
George W. Bush
When you're writing about something that happened, it helps you transition to the present.
George W. Bush
Americans do not presume to equate God's purposes with any purpose of our own....[Prayer] teaches us to trust, to accept that God's plan unfolds in his time, not our own.
George W. Bush
But as importantly, it lies in the fact that we've got citizens from all walks of life, all political parties, that are willing to say, I want to love my neighbor. I want to make somebody's life just a little bit better.
George W. Bush
There are prayers that help us last through the day, or endure the night. There are prayers of friends and strangers, that give us strength for the journey. And there are prayers that yield our will to a will greater than our own.
George W. Bush
I don't feel like I've got all that much too important to say on the kind of big national issues.
George W. Bush
You'll hear people say it's racist to test. Folks, it's racist not to test. Because guess who gets shuffled through the system oftentimes? Children whose parents don't speak English as a first language, inner-city kids. It's so much easier to quit on somebody than to remediate.
George W. Bush
We must appreciate the dignity of life in all its seasons, even the path of the elderly in the twilight of their years, to work toward the day when every child, born and unborn, is welcomed to life and protected by law.
George W. Bush
It's important to listen to the words of the enemy if you're in war.
George W. Bush
What we Republicans should stand for is growth in the economy. We ought to make the pie higher.
George W. Bush
I want to make it clear to people that the idea of putting subliminable messages into ads is ridiculous.
George W. Bush
I understand gas prices are like a hidden tax - not a hidden tax it's taking money out of people's pockets. I know that.
George W. Bush
