More quotes by William J. Clinton
I want to build a bridge to the 21st century that ends the permanent underclass, that lifts up the poor and ends their isolation, their exile, and they are not forgotten anymore.
William J. Clinton
For four years we've been cooperating exhaustively
William J. Clinton
What you earn depends on what you learn.
William J. Clinton
And I have a plan to do even better, to end welfare as we know it

William J. Clinton
Our campaign is the opposite of 'competence.'
William J. Clinton
We should pass a flex time law that allows employees to take their overtime pay in money or in time off, depending on what's better for their family.
William J. Clinton
If, two people have good minds and they're looking at problems, if they agree all the time it means one of them is not thinking. If they disagree all the time, it means one of them is not thinking. They're just allowing their political position to dictate their position on an issue. And I think that's unhealthy. And the public knows better.
William J. Clinton
Our mission in this new century is clear. For good or ill, we live in an interdependent world. We can't escape each other. Therefore, we have to spend our lives building a global community of shared responsibilities, shared values, shared benefits.
William J. Clinton
The established order has too many self-protecting economic entities, and not enough people who yet understand what it takes to change.
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
A few years back, this guy [Barack Obama] would be serving us coffee.
William J. Clinton
Sometimes when people are under stress, they hate to think, and it's the time when they most need to think.
William J. Clinton
The greatest progress we have made, and the greatest progress we have yet to make, is in the human heart. In the end, all the world's wealth and a thousand armies are no match for the strength and decency of the human spirit.
William J. Clinton
I knew from the minute I saw her (Hillary) that if I got involved with her I would fall in love with her.
William J. Clinton
I think the Democrats are going to have to be willing to give up, maybe, some short-term political gain by whipping up fears on some of these things - if it's a reasonable Social Security proposal, a reasonable Medicare proposal. We've got to deal with these things. You cannot have health care devour the economy.
William J. Clinton
The most powerful people on earth are focus groups.
William J. Clinton
I want to nominate a man who's cool on the outside, but who burns for America on the inside.
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
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
