More quotes by William J. Clinton
The future is not an inheritance, it is an opportunity and an obligation.
William J. Clinton
The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow.
William J. Clinton
A world without walls is the only sustainable world. . . . If the world is dominated by people who believe that their races, their religions, their ethnic differences are the most important factors, then a huge number of people will perish in this century.
William J. Clinton
One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.
William J. Clinton
There's nothing wrong with making mistakes. Just don't respond with encores.
William J. Clinton
There's never a perfect bipartisan bill in the eyes of a partisan.
William J. Clinton
We should make it a crime even to attempt to pollute. Our children should grow up next to parks, not poison.
William J. Clinton
We can't afford to lose control of our own borders or to take on new financial burdens at a time when we are not adequately providing for the jobs, the health care and the education of our own people.
William J. Clinton
It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is.
William J. Clinton
When people are feeling insecure, they'd rather have someone who is strong and wrong rather than somebody who is weak and right.
William J. Clinton
I think that most small amounts of marijuana have been decriminalized in some places, and should be. We really need a re-examination of our entire policy on imprisonment...Our imprisonment policies are counterproductive.
William J. Clinton
In our efforts to battle terrorism and cyber attacks and biological weapons, all of us must be extremely aggressive. We must protect our people from danger and keep America safe and free.
William J. Clinton
Our military superiority is so great - it's far greater than it was in the Gulf War, and the Gulf War was over in 100 hours after we bombed for 43 days. And so now they can bomb for a couple of days and then just roll into Baghdad... The odds are there's going to be a war and it's going to be not for very long.
William J. Clinton
Today's possibilities are not tomorrows guarantees.
William J. Clinton
We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.
William J. Clinton
You can't say you love your country and hate your government.
William J. Clinton
No wonder Americans hate politics when, year in and year out, they hear politicians make promises that won't come true because they don't even mean them - campaign fantasies that win elections but don't get nations moving again
William J. Clinton
A significant number of petroleum geologists believe that we will reach the global maximum of petroleum extraction within this decade or that we have already reached it. Peak Oil happened in 1970 in America, when over half of our oil that we gained from the soil was exhausted ... This is very disturbing, regardless of global warming.
William J. Clinton
In a fundamental sense, this debate about NAFTA is a debate about whether we will embrace these changes and create the jobs of tomorrow, or try to resist these changes, hoping we can preserve the economic structures of yesterday.
William J. Clinton
I want a man who had the good sense to marry Michelle Obama.
William J. Clinton
