More quotes by William J. Clinton
It is time to stop personal destruction and prying into private lives
William J. Clinton
Our generation, like the one before us, must choose. Without the threat of the Cold War, without the pain of economic ruin, without the fresh memory of World War II's slaughter, it is tempting to pursue our private agendas -- to simply sit back and let history unfold. We must resist the temptation.
William J. Clinton
From the small clubs of the Harlem Renaissance where he began playing saxophone to world tours for the biggest of the big bands, Benny Carter redefined American jazz. From the start, his fellow musicians said the way he played the sax was amazing. They say that about me, too. (Laughter.) But I don't think they mean it in quite the same way.
William J. Clinton
When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better. After all, nobody's right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day.
William J. Clinton
When times are tough and people are frustrated and angry and hurting and uncertain, the politics of constant conflict may be good. But what is good politics does not necessarily work in the real world. What works in the real world is cooperation.
William J. Clinton
Don't you ever orget that in the end, our future is tied to people, that it's more about ideas than a tax.
William J. Clinton
You know what higher interest rates mean. To you it means a higher mortgage payment, a higher car payment, a higher credit card payment. To our economy, it means business people will not borrow as much money, invest as much money, create as many new jobs, create as much wealth, raise as many raises.
William J. Clinton
Let me say this as clearly as I can: No matter how sharp a grievance or how deep a hurt, there is no justification for killing innocents.
William J. Clinton
The era of big government is over.
William J. Clinton
I will never let Israel down.
William J. Clinton
I misled people, including even my wife.
William J. Clinton
I think if the White House or the President want to say anything about our conversations or anything I tried to do to help our country with their support or at their request, then I think they should be the ones to do that. But I think that former presidents should do that.
William J. Clinton
If you take advantage of the fact that technology abolishes distance, then you won't need to go to India. Just go to Indiana.
William J. Clinton
You cannot have an integrated world and have your say all the time. America can lead the world towards that, but we cannot dominate and run the world in that direction. There is a big difference.
William J. Clinton
I have always believed that the decision to have an abortion generally should be between a woman, her doctor, her conscience, and her God.
William J. Clinton
If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.
William J. Clinton
No one who has lived through the second half of the 20th century could possibly be blind to the enormous impact of exchange programs on the future of countries.
William J. Clinton
Let us do the work that is before us, so that when our time here is over we will all watch the sun go down as we all must, and say truly, we have prepared our children for the dawn.
William J. Clinton
Being president is like running a cemetery: you've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening.
William J. Clinton
By the time you become the leader of a country, someone else makes all the decisions.
William J. Clinton
