More quotes by William J. Clinton

William J. Clinton
We still have too many Americans who give in to their fears of those who are different from them. Not so long ago, swastikas were painted on the doors of some African-American members of our Special Forces at Ft. Bragg. They are special forces. They do not deserve to have swastikas on their doors.
William J. Clinton
I like the job. That's what I'll miss the most... I'm not sure anybody ever liked this as much as I've liked it.
