More quotes by William J. Clinton

Our bridge to the future must include bridges to other nations, because we remain the world's indispensable nation to advance prosperity, peace and freedom and to keep our own children safe from the dangers of terror and weapons of mass destruction.

William J. Clinton
From Bill Clinton speech- People are more impressed by the power of our example rather than the example of our power.
William J. Clinton
We must continue to deepen our ties to the Americas and the Caribbean, our common work to educate children, fight drugs, strengthen democracy, and increase trade.
William J. Clinton
The only preparation for prospering in the global economy is investing in ourselves.
William J. Clinton
Running helps me stay on an even keel and in an optimistic frame of mind.
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
