The new rage is to say that the government is the cause of all our problems, and if only we had no government, we'd have no problems. I can tell you, that contradicts evidence, history, and common sense.
William J. Clinton

More quotes by William J. Clinton
AIDS is no longer a death sentence for those who can get the medicines. Now it's up to the politicians to create the comprehensive strategies to better treat the disease.

I want to nominate a man who's cool on the outside, but who burns for America on the inside.
William J. Clinton
All of us have to do a better job of teaching young people not to let themselves be defined by the words other people use against them.
William J. Clinton
I did a lot of work on energy efficiency at the White House. By the time I left we had taken the equivalent of six hundred cars a year off the road in reduced greenhouse gas emissions just in the White House complex.
William J. Clinton
Volunteering is an act of heroism on a grand scale. And it matters profoundly. It does more than help people beat the odds it changes the odds.
William J. Clinton
There are always going to be people who want to be president, and some days I'd like to give it to them.
William J. Clinton
. . . unfortunately, we can't control the actions of everyone.
William J. Clinton
One of the things that I think we have learned is that we should all be very careful about making predictions about the future.
William J. Clinton
There is no longer a clear, bright line dividing America's domestic concerns and America's foreign policy concerns...If we want America to stay on the right track, if we want other people to be on that track and have the chance to enjoy peace and prosperity, we have no choice but to try to lead the train.
William J. Clinton
Taxing less and spending more.. it's fun in the short run, but it's a recipe for disaster.
William J. Clinton
[Illegal immigration] costs the taxpayers of the United States a lot of money. And it's unfair to Americans who are working every day to pay their own bills. It's also unfair to a lot of people who have waited in line for years and years in other countries to be legal immigrants.
William J. Clinton
NASA even sent Chuck Berry's music on a space probe searching for intelligent life in outer space. Well, now, if they're out there, they're duck walking
William J. Clinton
The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, which highlights customer satisfaction, workforce empowerment, and increased productivity, has come to symbolize America's commitment to excellence.
William J. Clinton
Demand that your government pays more attention. It's immoral that people in Africa die like flies of diseases that no one dies of in the United States. And the more disease there is, the more political unrest there will be, leading to more Darfurs, which the U.S. will have to pay to fix.
William J. Clinton
I am grateful to President George W. Bush for PEPFAR, which is saving the lives of millions of people in poor countries and to both Presidents Bush for the work we've done together after the South Asia tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake.
William J. Clinton
Democracies don't go to war against each other, and by and large they don't sponsor terrorism. They're more likely to respect the environment and human rights and social justice. It's no accident that most of the terrorists come from non-democratic countries.
William J. Clinton
You can't be involved in modern American politics without somebody attacking you.
William J. Clinton
I want to say to you is that James Madison and Thomas Jefferson did not intend to drive a stake in the heart of religion and to drive it out of our public life. What they intended to do was to set up a system so that we could bring religion into our public life and into our private life without any of us telling the other what to do.
William J. Clinton
When I think about the world I would like to leave to my daughter and the grandchildren I hope to have, it is a world that moves away from unequal, unstable, unsustainable interdependence to integrated communities - locally, nationally and globally - that share the characteristics of all successful communities.
William J. Clinton
If there's grass in the field, play ball!
