Learning improves in school environments where there are comprehensive music and arts programs. They increase the ability of young people to do math. They increase the ability of young people to read. And most important of all, they're a lot of fun.
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
I spent a lot of time when I was president, trying to end wars, prevent killing, and promote understanding. What I have seen is that peace works better than conflict, and one of the best manifestations of it is in travel and tourism.
William J. Clinton
I was not elected to produce a pile of vetoes.
William J. Clinton
I will get things done for America.... Faced with apathy, I will take action. Faced with conflict, I will seek common ground.... Faced with adversity, I will persevere. I will carry this commitment with me this year. I am an Americorps volunteer.

William J. Clinton
I do think that the role of the Internet, and the way it's bringing everything into the home, has made a parent's job much more difficult. And it's harder to know what to do and how to do it. It's much, much harder.
William J. Clinton
Health care's complicated, can be misrepresented, it's personal, it can spark fear, it's expensive, and the people who have got the money want to keep it.
William J. Clinton
The first thing I had to start with was, you know, we don't have a war. We don't have a depression, we don't have a Cold War.
William J. Clinton
Our country [America] is still the strongest force for peace and freedom on earth.
William J. Clinton
We know that progress is not inevitable. But neither was victory upon these beaches. Now, as then, the inner voice tells us to stand up and move forward. Now, as then, free people must choose.
William J. Clinton
In general I saw my job as the first president whose full term would be served after the Cold War in a global information society where we were interdependent but not integrated. And therefore, we were vulnerable to the worst, and able to seize the best, of what's going on in the world.
William J. Clinton
Citizen service is the very American idea that we meet our challenges not as isolated individuals but as members of a true community, with all of us working together. Our mission is nothing less than to spark a renewed sense of obligation, a new sense of duty, a new season of service.
William J. Clinton
Only the police should have handguns.
William J. Clinton
I challenge every business person in America who has ever complained about the failure of the welfare system to try to hire somebody off welfare. And try hard.
William J. Clinton
Just because you can't do everything, it doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you can.
William J. Clinton
Rarely have Americans lived through so much change, in so many ways, in so short a time. Quietly, but with gathering force, the ground has shifted beneath our feet as we have moved into an Information Age, a global economy, a truly new world.
William J. Clinton
