More quotes by William J. Clinton
We all have to learn to live together.
William J. Clinton
After years of denial and deception, the Philip Morris company has admitted that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer and other diseases. This formal acknowledgment comes far too late but still we must all welcome it. It can be the beginning of clearing the air.
William J. Clinton
We live to prove that cooperation works better than conflict.
William J. Clinton
You know, everybody makes mistakes when they are president.
William J. Clinton
I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation.
William J. Clinton
We know that progress is not inevitable. But neither was victory upon these beaches. Now, as then, the inner voice tells us to stand up and move forward. Now, as then, free people must choose.
William J. Clinton
A preemptive action today, however well-justified, may come back with unwelcome consequences in the future. And because... I've done this. I've ordered these kinds of actions - I don't care how precise your bombs and your weapons are, when you set them off, innocent people will die.
William J. Clinton
For too long we've been told about 'us' and 'them.' Each and every election we see a new slate of arguments and ads telling us that 'they' are the problem, not 'us.' But there can be no 'them' in America. There's only us.
William J. Clinton
In our efforts to battle terrorism and cyber attacks and biological weapons, all of us must be extremely aggressive. We must protect our people from danger and keep America safe and free.
William J. Clinton
Now, people ask me all the time how we got four surplus budgets in a row. What new ideas did we bring to Washington? I always give a one-word answer: Arithmetic.
William J. Clinton
Without question, bicycling is an efficient, economical and environmentally sound form of transportation and recreation. Bicycling is a great activity for families, recreational riders and commuters. Hillary, Chelsea and I have bicycles.
William J. Clinton
By lifting the weakest, poorest among us, we lift the rest of us as well.
William J. Clinton
When some Republican governors asked to try new ways to put people on welfare back to work, the Obama Administration said they would only do it if they had a credible plan to increase employment by 20%. You hear that? More work. So the claim that President Obama weakened welfare reform's work requirement is just not true.
William J. Clinton
The best example of all, to me, that our problems are both personal and cultural and political and social is the whole condition of the middle class economically.
William J. Clinton
Millions of people of color still experience racism daily.
William J. Clinton
It's only in America where there seems to be this sort of systematic denial of the reality of global warming at the governmental level, and in too many sectors of the high, the private sector. But it looks to me the business community may actually lead us toward a clean energy future almost in spite of government policy.
William J. Clinton
Character doesn't matter.
William J. Clinton
Where are the jobs going to come from?Small business, manufacturing and clean energy. Where's the money to finance them? The banks and the corporations in America today have lots of money that they can invest right now.
William J. Clinton
If you want to know where I come by the passionate commitment I have to bringing people together without regard to race, it all started with my grandfather.
William J. Clinton
For 60 years, Social Security has meant more than an ID number on a tax form more than a monthly check in the mail. It reflects our deepest values - our respect for our parents and our belief that all Americans deserve to retire with dignity.
William J. Clinton
