More quotes by William J. Clinton
When we give what we can, and give it with joy, we don't just renew the American tradition of giving, we also renew ourselves.
William J. Clinton
President Obama started with a much weaker economy than I did. Listen to me, now. No president - no president, not me, not any of my predecessors, no one could have fully repaired all the damage that he found in just four years.
William J. Clinton
The most important question of the 21st century is not what or how much, it is 'How?' How do you propose to turn your good ideas into positive changes in other people's lives? You must be the 'how generation.'
William J. Clinton
I am in support of the NRA position on gun control.
William J. Clinton
I could never allow [tax] cuts that devastate education for our children, that pollute our environment, that end the guarantee of health care for those who are served under Medicaid, that end our duty or violate our duty to our parents through Medicare. I just couldn't do that. As long as I'm president, I'll never let it happen.
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
It's the economy, stupid.
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
The greatest progress we have made, and the greatest progress we have yet to make, is in the human heart. In the end, all the world's wealth and a thousand armies are no match for the strength and decency of the human spirit.
William J. Clinton
If you look back at the 1960's in the United States, and if you think that more good was done than harm, you are probably a Democrat. If you think that more harm was done than good, then you're probably a Republican.
William J. Clinton
In our hearts and in our laws, we must treat all our people with fairness and dignity, regardless of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. . . .
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
You can't be involved in modern American politics without somebody attacking you.
William J. Clinton
What we did with deeming rules were designed - it was designed to keep costs from coming on to the government that should be borne by families of immigrants who actually have incomes and can afford to pay.
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
...Nixon's subversion [of the consititution] consisted of: One presidental lie one invocation of presidental privilege, and zero criminal offences.
William J. Clinton
When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly.
William J. Clinton
If you believe in the values of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, if you're willing to work hard and play by the rules, you are part of our family. And we're proud to be with you.
William J. Clinton
Our campaign is the opposite of 'competence.'
William J. Clinton
You can't say you love your country and hate your government.
William J. Clinton
