More quotes by George W. Bush
I have written a book. This will come as quite a shock to some. They didn't think I could read, much less write.
George W. Bush
One of the common denominators I have found is that expectations rise above that which is expected.
George W. Bush
I believe the role of government is to stand side by side with our citizens to help them realize their dreams, not tell citizens how to live their lives.
George W. Bush
The days of discriminating against religious institutions simply because they are religious must come to an end.
George W. Bush
I've got God's shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot. I do a lot of crying in this job. I'll bet I've shed more tears than you can count, as president.
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
The greatest power of freedom is to overcome hatred and violence, and turn the creative gifts of men and women to the pursuits of peace.
George W. Bush
Uhh Gosh, I.. don't think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin Laden. It's kind of one of those, uhh, exaggerations.
George W. Bush
Outwit, outlast, outplay. It's the tagline for the television show Survivor and it's damn near what presidenting is like, too.
George W. Bush
In this job, there are some simple pleasures that really help you cope. One is books, I mean, books are a great escape. Books are a way to get your mind on something else.
George W. Bush
There is only one course of action against terrorists: to defeat them abroad before they attack us at home.
George W. Bush
Something that is completely unwinnable. I mean, it becomes unwinnable if we decide to leave [Afghanistan].
George W. Bush
It appears to be a re-run of a bad movie. [Iraqi President Saddam Hussein] is delaying. He's deceiving. He's asking for time. He's playing hide-and-seek with inspectors. One thing is for certain - he's not disarming.
George W. Bush
I care what 51 percent of the people think about me.
George W. Bush
People shouldn't read into venue locations someone's heart.
George W. Bush
In a time of war, the president must have the power he needs to make the tough decisions, including, if need be, the decision to grant himself even more power.
George W. Bush
Reading history while you make history can teach you a lot.
George W. Bush
The once all-powerful ruler of Iraq was found in a hole, and now sits in a prison cell.
George W. Bush
We go forward with complete confidence in the eventual triumph of freedom. Not because history runs on the wheels of inevitability it is human choices that move events. Not because we consider ourselves a chosen nation God moves and chooses as He wills.
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
