William J. Clinton
The more children see of violence, the more numb they are to the deadly consequences of violence. Now, video games like 'Mortal Kombat,' 'Killer Instinct,' and 'Doom,' the very game played obsessively by the two young men who ended so many lives in Littleton, make our children more active participants in simulated violence.
William J. Clinton
It is dangerously destabilizing to have half the world on the cutting edge of technology while the other half struggles on the bare edge of survival.
William J. Clinton
I came of age believing that, no matter what happened, I would always be able to support myself.

William J. Clinton
There's a big conservative press unabashedly and for the Democrats and even people to the left of the Democratic party, there's almost virtually no outlets that you can compare with the vast array of conservative press that's out there.
William J. Clinton
True Excellence requires a worthy dream, a good Idea of how to realize it and the courage to risk failure to achieve it.
