Our military superiority is so great - it's far greater than it was in the Gulf War, and the Gulf War was over in 100 hours after we bombed for 43 days. And so now they can bomb for a couple of days and then just roll into Baghdad... The odds are there's going to be a war and it's going to be not for very long.

William J. Clinton
If you want to be forgiven, you have to extend forgiveness, even to people who aren't smart enough to ask for it.

William J. Clinton
I think we need to push harder, we the Democrats, because it's an open door for the Republicans - prosperity centers.
William J. Clinton
The Kyoto Treaty wasn't perfect, but we signed it, in fact, helped to draft it. And I'm very proud of it, it was the world's first commitment to doing something comprehensive on greenhouse gases and trying to reduce global warming before we do irreversible damage to many civilizations around the world.
William J. Clinton
In speaking powerfully and eloquently for mercy and reconciliation to people divided by old hatreds and persecuted by abuse of power, the Holy Father was a beacon of light not just for Catholics, but for all people.
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
I believe that people of my income group should pay more, and I explained why, but that won't necessarily lift overall wage levels.
William J. Clinton
Over the past 7 years, we've tried to modernize the economy, and today what we're doing is modernizing the financial services industry, tearing down these antiquated walls, and granting banks significant new authority.
William J. Clinton
You know, by the time you become the leader of a country, someone else makes all the decisions. ... You may find you can get away with virtual presidents, virtual prime ministers, virtual everything.
William J. Clinton
If you come from a wealthy country with open borders, unless you seriously believe you can kill, imprison or occupy all your enemies, you have to make a world with more friends and fewer enemies - with more partners and fewer terrorists.
William J. Clinton
Great rewards will come to those who can live together, learn together, work together, forge new ties that bind together.
William J. Clinton
It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If 'is' means 'is and never has been' that's one thing - if it means 'there is none', that was a completely true statement.
William J. Clinton
Americans - not just starting thirty years ago but going back to the beginning, when we were rebelling against King George - we've always been of two minds about the government, which is why the framers wrote the Constitution the way they did.
