More quotes by William J. Clinton
People like change in general, but not in particular.
William J. Clinton
If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.
William J. Clinton
Without a high pain threshold, you can't be a successful President.
William J. Clinton
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.
William J. Clinton
When I was president, I knew exactly what I wanted to do every day to bring America together and create a greater sense of opportunity and a larger sense of responsibility and a stronger sense of community.
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
There's this whole problem of trafficking, which has gotten worse in the economic downturn, which disproportionately affects young women, but also affects some young men who are sold into bondage, into basically servitude for indebted work that they can often never escape from.
William J. Clinton
Work organizes life. It gives structure and discipline to life.
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
Nothing in our lifetimes has been more heartening than when people of the former Soviet Union and Central Europe broke the grip of communism. We have aided their progress and I am proud of it.
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
Being President is a little like being the grounds-keeper at a cemetery: there's plenty of people below you but no one's listening.
William J. Clinton
If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.
William J. Clinton
I'm someone who had a deep emotional attachment to 'Starsky and Hutch.'
William J. Clinton
Life's real victories must be shared.
William J. Clinton
Effort, not ability, makes the biggest difference in achievement.
William J. Clinton
So much of modern politics is focused not on honest differences of policy but on personal attacks.
William J. Clinton
Food is a big bargain in America, and you can go to these places, we all like them, and you get big portions, and they taste good. But they're higher in fat than ever before. And same thing has happened, by the way, though, to school menus. A lot of school lunch menus have more fat and more sugar than ever before.
William J. Clinton
Almost makes you want to go to jail out here, doesn't it?
William J. Clinton
I love and revere the rich and proud history of America. And I am determined to take our best traditions into the future. But with all respect, we do not need to build a bridge to the past. We need to build a bridge to the future.
William J. Clinton
