William J. Clinton
It was Mario Cuomo's great gift and our good fortune that he was both a sterling orator and a passionate public servant. His life was a blessing.
William J. Clinton
If you believe in making change from the bottom up, if you believe the measure of change is how many people's lives are better, you know it's hard and some people think it's boring. Speeches like this are fun, actually doing the work is hard.
William J. Clinton
Now, people ask me all the time how we got four surplus budgets in a row. What new ideas did we bring to Washington? I always give a one-word answer: Arithmetic.
William J. Clinton
I pledge that I have no intention of raising taxes in my second term.
William J. Clinton
The Republicans could mess up a two car parade
William J. Clinton
In the new economy, information, education, and motivation are everything.
