More quotes by George W. Bush
I think a lot of the national Democrats believe that, you know, Iraq is a distraction and not part of the War on Terror. They've said so. And I strongly disagree.
George W. Bush
Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.
George W. Bush
We are not at war with the Afghani people, and we are not at war with Islam, which most Americans respect as a religion of peace.
George W. Bush
I think it was in the Rose Garden where I issued this brilliant statement: If I had a magic wand -- but the president doesn't have a magic wand. You just can't say, 'low gas.'
George W. Bush
My administration will be more supportive of the good works done here than any administration in the history of this country because I understand the power of faith, that faith can change lives.
George W. Bush
It is no accident that the rise of so many democracies took place in a time when the world's most influential nation was itself a democracy.
George W. Bush
These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat.But they have failed our country is strong.
George W. Bush
The peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.
George W. Bush
People who plan their life when they're 18 years old and say, This is my life plan, would generally be surprised and maybe disappointed.
George W. Bush
Never paint your wife or your mother.
George W. Bush
There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like.
George W. Bush
I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.
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
I have zero desire to be in the limelight.
George W. Bush
Not every action requires military action. As a matter of fact, military action is the very last resort for us.
George W. Bush
Our Nation must defend the sanctity of marriage.
George W. Bush
we're too great a nation to allow the evil-doers to affect our soul and our spirit.
George W. Bush
I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people. If America shows uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch.
George W. Bush
I fully understand some people don't believe it's possible for freedom and democracy to overcome this ideology of hatred. I understand that. I just happen to believe it is possible. And I believe it will happen.
George W. Bush
I worry about protectionists, which is another way of saying less competition, less trade around the world. And I view those as twins of negativity.
George W. Bush
