More quotes by William J. Clinton
The secret to living a full life with no regrets and to staying young is to figure out what you believe in and fight for it. If you lose, don't give up. If you win, raise the bar, and then rare back and do something else. And remember that, with the accumulation of years, our responsibilities to the future grow greater, not less.
William J. Clinton
California has become the first American state where there is no majority race, and we're doing just fine. If you look around the room, you can see a microcosm of what we can do in the world. . . . You should be hopeful on balance about the future. But it's like any future since the beginning of time -- you're going to have to make it.

William J. Clinton
If you want to be forgiven, you have to extend forgiveness, even to people who aren't smart enough to ask for it.
William J. Clinton
Nearly every problem has been solved by someone, somewhere. The challenge of the 21st century is to find out what works and scale it up.
William J. Clinton
I think that the responsibility that the Democrats had may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress, or by me when I was President, to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
William J. Clinton
What we should be doing [in US] is accelerating every year our efforts to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, have a cleaner energy future, have much more energy conservation. And this won't hurt anybody. This will create a new economy for America, if we've got the discipline to do it.
William J. Clinton
We need not just a new generation of leadership but a new gender of leadership
William J. Clinton
Posterity is the world to come the world for whom we hold our ideals, from whom we have borrowed our planet, and to whom we bear sacred responsibility. We must do what America does best: offer more opportunity to all and demand responsibility from all.
William J. Clinton
You can't blame your opponents for applying a strategy that beats your brains out with regularity.
William J. Clinton
I'm just trying to suppress my natural impulses and get back to work.
William J. Clinton
If you voluntarily quit in the face of adversity, you'll wonder about it for the rest of your life.
William J. Clinton
I always get nervous when people start talking about legacies.
William J. Clinton
What happened to us in September, 2001, is a microcosmic but painful and powerful example of the fact we live in an inter-dependent world that is not yet an integrated global community.
William J. Clinton
...the fact [is] that our borders leak like a sieve: those things cannot be permitted to continue in good conscience.
William J. Clinton
