More quotes by John Ashcroft
A trustee has a responsibility to guard the assets of others with a higher degree of care than he does his own.
John Ashcroft
Sometimes the act of walking in the face of the elements helps us come to grips with reality. Or it simply exhausts us to the point of seeing the futility of resisting reality and the futility of denial.
John Ashcroft
We need to strengthen our analytic capacity in Washington, we need to centralize the anti-terrorism effort
John Ashcroft
The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved.
John Ashcroft
All of us want to have meaning in our lives and want to feel like we're doing something that makes a difference. I believe we're doing that in the Justice Department.
John Ashcroft

John Ashcroft
We're going to protect and honor the Constitution, and I don't have the authority to set it aside.... If I had the authority to set it aside, this would be a dangerous government, and I wouldn't respect it.
John Ashcroft
A calculated, malignant, devastating evil has arisen in our world, ... Civilization cannot ignore the wrongs that have been done. America will not tolerate their being repeated. Justice has a new mission, a new calling against an old evil.
John Ashcroft
Any citizen who's offended ... can leave the service.

John Ashcroft
The goal of terror is not traditional territorial enlargement rather the war target of the terrorist is the dismemberment of the will of the community it terrorizes.
John Ashcroft
Unique among the nations, America recognized the source of our character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and temporal. And because we have understood that our source is eternal, America has been different. We have no king but Jesus.
John Ashcroft
If necessity is the mother of invention, it's the father of cooperation. And we're cooperating like never before.
John Ashcroft
The way the terrorist is trained to operate, especially the suicide terrorists, makes punishment and the threat of punishment far less valuable to those who would prevent the crime
John Ashcroft
Just as the First and Fourth Amendment secure individual rights of speech and security respectively, the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. This view of the text comports with the all but unanimous understanding of the Founding Fathers.
John Ashcroft
[Ashcroft vowed to] spare no effort to preserve the rights of all our citizens to pledge allegiance to the American flag.
John Ashcroft
Agents need to be free to pursue investigations in ways that they haven't. There have been restraints that a reformed FBI needs to make sure we don't impose.
John Ashcroft
Simply put, international terrorism made international cooperation mandatory rather than elective. Collective security has become the only real security against the hydra-headed monster of international terror.
John Ashcroft
We have to think outside the box, inside the Constitution, find ways to do things that will elevate our security, reduce the risk of the incidence of terrorist attack
John Ashcroft
This view of the text comports with the all but unanimous understanding of the Founding Fathers.
