More quotes by William J. Clinton
North Koreans are irrational to some extent, but I don't think they're totally irrational. I think they watch American cable channels. I think they watch the European cable channels. I think they, their decision makers keep up more than we know. And I think they want us to think they're a little crazy.
William J. Clinton
We have to change the whole job structure of America. We have got to basically reorient our economy toward the future.
William J. Clinton
Sometimes I feel like the fire hydrant looking at a pack of dogs.
William J. Clinton
An innocent bureaucratic snafu.
William J. Clinton
Putin wants to reestablish Russian greatness, not as the Cold War, but in 19th century empire terms.
William J. Clinton
I spent a lot of time when I was president, trying to end wars, prevent killing, and promote understanding. What I have seen is that peace works better than conflict, and one of the best manifestations of it is in travel and tourism.
William J. Clinton
That all depends on what is is.
William J. Clinton
I am committed to curbing the influence of money in our political system.
William J. Clinton
Some people say well we need a change. Hillary Clinton is been around a long, she sure has, and she's sure been worth every single year she's put into making people's lives better.
William J. Clinton
I believe we can do much more to adapt to the structural changes in the global economy, get high-end manufacturing back here, set up clusters of economic activity where you have, among other things, continuous retraining of people well into their middle years so they never become irrelevant to the current job market.
William J. Clinton
Our bridge to the future must include bridges to other nations, because we remain the world's indispensable nation to advance prosperity, peace and freedom and to keep our own children safe from the dangers of terror and weapons of mass destruction.
William J. Clinton
The fundamental problem you have anywhere is when people think their lives and the lives of their children don't matter, they they are somehow disposable, just like a paper napkin after a lunch at a restaurant or something, if we want our freedom to be in deed as well as word in America, we have to make people feel that everybody matters again.
William J. Clinton
Politics gives guys so much power that they tend to behave badly around women. And I hope I never get into that.
William J. Clinton
The most important question of the 21st century is not what or how much, it is 'How?' How do you propose to turn your good ideas into positive changes in other people's lives? You must be the 'how generation.'
William J. Clinton
If you want to live like a Republican, vote like a Democrat.
William J. Clinton
Remember, Republican economic policies quadrupled the debt before I took office and doubled it after I left. We simply can't afford to double-down on trickle-down.
William J. Clinton
I'm very proud that the first bill I had the opportunity to sign into law as President was the Family and Medical Leave Act No parent should ever have to choose between work and family between earning a decent wage and caring for a child.
William J. Clinton
So much of modern politics is focused not on honest differences of policy but on personal attacks.
William J. Clinton
Justice may be blind, but we all know that diversity in the courts, as in all aspects of society, sharpens our vision and makes us a stronger nation.
William J. Clinton
We will lower the tax burden on middle class Americans by asking the very wealthy to pay their fair share. Middle class taxpayers will have a choice between a children's tax credit or a significant reduction in their income tax rate.
William J. Clinton
