More quotes by Laura Bush
certainly the women's health part is something that I've become very interested in. It's not something I thought about when George [Bush] was elected...what I'd always been interested in was education.
Laura Bush
Diseases don't respect borders. You know, just at the edge of the American border, that isn't the edge of diseases. We need to be sure that we're looking worldwide. And it is in our security interest, as well as our moral interest, to pay attention to the rest of the world.
Laura Bush
It's not easy to have the job of president. It's not easy to run for it. And it's not a job for the feint of heart.
Laura Bush
When I taught school, we just had the school cafeteria we didn't have machines or things for children to buy food from. But parents can try to educate their children about choices. A lot of everything we're talking about that has to do with heart disease has to do with the choices that we make.
Laura Bush
But we talk about issues, we talk about people, we talk about personalities. George is a very good reader of people, and he's very perceptive about people, and you know, that's fine.
Laura Bush
It's a huge advantage to have parents who read to you. And it's an advantage that lasts a lifetime.
Laura Bush
I'm inspired by my faith of course, and all the different people around me.
Laura Bush
I also know that there are a lot of people around the United States who want my husband to win and who are for him and who support our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. And I feel good about those people, too.
Laura Bush
For countries to succeed, for democracies to succeed, the women and men in those countries need to be free. Women and men need to know their rights.
Laura Bush
An educated child is better equipped to handle all the challenges of life, from finding work to avoiding diseases like HIV/AIDS.
Laura Bush
Bluffton is growing. But we must hold on to that small-town character.
Laura Bush
As long as we have books, we are not alone.
Laura Bush
I think doctors have really come up to speed and understand that more women than men die of heart disease. [But] all the research on heart disease has really been based on men, and needs to be updated with research on women - even very early-stage research is done using male rats!
Laura Bush
I'm not the one who was elected. Although she disagreed with her husband on a lot of issues, she emphasized, I would never do anything to undermine my husband's point of view.
Laura Bush
We seldom give each other advice-I think that's the success of 25 years of marriage.
Laura Bush
Every child in American should have access to a well-stocked school library.
Laura Bush
Libraries are community treasure chests, loaded with a wealth of information available to everyone equally, and the key to that treasure chest is the library card. I have found the most valuable thing in my wallet is my library card.
Laura Bush
The National Book Festival is a great way for families and friends to share the creative works of some of America's most-loved authors, .. Readers of all ages can listen to favorite writers speaking about their books, have books autographed, meet many storybook characters and enjoy a day on the National Mall.
Laura Bush
I was the same way after graduating with a degree in education. I started to teach and I was wondering: do I really know how to teach?
Laura Bush
Children who are read to learn two things: First, that reading is worthwhile, and second, that they are worthwhile.
Laura Bush
