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
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
Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking our world. And the urgent question of our time is whether we can make change our friend and not our enemy.
William J. Clinton
When it comes to anything that's social, whether it's your family, your school, your community, your business or your country, winning is a team sport.
William J. Clinton
Almost makes you want to go to jail out here, doesn't it?

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
In science, if the last 50 years were the age of physics, the next 50 years will be the age of biology.
William J. Clinton
Nearly everyone will lie to you, given the right circumstances.
William J. Clinton
All America loses when any person is denied or forced out of a job because of sexual orientation. Being gay, the last time I thought about it, seemed to have nothing to do with the ability to read a balance book, fix a broken bone, or change a spark plug.
William J. Clinton
I think that the responsibility that the Democrats had may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress, or by me when I was President, to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
William J. Clinton
That's what she [Hillary Clinton] is done with everything all her life. She just makes something good happen, and that's what you need.
William J. Clinton
Poverty, discrimination, and ignorance restrict growth.
William J. Clinton
When we got organized as a country, [and] wrote a fairly radical Constitution, with a radical Bill of Rights, giving radical amounts of freedom to Americans, it was assumed that Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly...When personal freedom is being abused, you have to move to limit it.
William J. Clinton
I was not elected to produce a pile of vetoes.
William J. Clinton
[Alternative energy] will make us less dependent on foreign oil. It would make us more secure in our future. It would mean that our foreign policy could be a reflection of our values and our other interests, and not just that.
William J. Clinton
Though government has an important role to play in meeting the many challenges that remain before us, we are coming to understand that no organization, including government, will fully succeed without the active participation of each of us. Volunteers are vital to enabling this country to live up to the true promise of its heritage
