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

William J. Clinton
You can't be involved in modern American politics without somebody attacking you.
William J. Clinton
I will tell you this: I will not raise taxes on the middle-class to pay for these programs.
William J. Clinton

William J. Clinton
Just try to imagine what it would be like to be 300 million years old.
William J. Clinton
Pessimism is an excuse for not trying and a guarantee to a personal failure.
William J. Clinton
I tried marijuana once. I did not inhale.
William J. Clinton
We all do better when we work together. Our differences do matter, but our common humanity matters more.
William J. Clinton
Effort, not ability, makes the biggest difference in achievement.
William J. Clinton
Throughout the Middle East, there is a great yearning for the quiet miracle of a normal life.
William J. Clinton
There's this whole problem of trafficking, which has gotten worse in the economic downturn, which disproportionately affects young women, but also affects some young men who are sold into bondage, into basically servitude for indebted work that they can often never escape from.
William J. Clinton
Great rewards will come to those who can live together, learn together, work together, forge new ties that bind together.
William J. Clinton
I will never let Israel down.
William J. Clinton
Saddam Hussein didn't kill 3,100 people on Sept. 11. Osama bin Laden did, and as far as we know he's still alive.
