More quotes by William J. Clinton
On Bill Clinton: I have a simple question: Who's the last President to give you a balanced budget?
William J. Clinton
The great thing about not being president anymore is I can say whatever I want, about anything. Of course [now], nobody really cares what I say. And now I have the worst of all worlds -- my wife has become the secretary of state, so no one really cares what I say -- unless I mess up.
William J. Clinton
I came of age believing that, no matter what happened, I would always be able to support myself.
William J. Clinton
I admire that about the Republicans: The evidence does not faze them. They are not bothered at all by the facts.
William J. Clinton
I don't think the Republicans can damage my character
William J. Clinton
If ever there comes a time when everyone you vote for wins and they do everything you think they should do, there will still be a gap between what is and what ought to be.
William J. Clinton
In general I saw my job as the first president whose full term would be served after the Cold War in a global information society where we were interdependent but not integrated. And therefore, we were vulnerable to the worst, and able to seize the best, of what's going on in the world.
William J. Clinton
To build a twenty-first-century economy, America must revive a nineteenth-century habit--investing in the common, national economic resources that enable every person and every firm to create wealth and value.
William J. Clinton
Today's possibilities are not tomorrows guarantees.
William J. Clinton
Edgar Wayburn has worked to preserve the most breath-taking examples of the American landscape. In fact, over the course of more than a half-century, both as President of the Sierra Club and as a private citizen, he has saved more of our wilderness than any person alive.
William J. Clinton
Character is a journey, not a destination.
William J. Clinton
We have the most religious freedom of any country in the world, including the freedom not to believe.
William J. Clinton
One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.
William J. Clinton
I have said many times-if I hadn't been exposed to music as a child I don't think I would have been president.
William J. Clinton
I want to help communities put welfare recipients to work right now, without delay, repairing schools, making their neighborhoods clean and safe, making them shine again. There's lots of work to be done out there. Our cities can find ways to put people to work and bring dignity and strength back to these families.
William J. Clinton
The greatest progress we have made, and the greatest progress we have yet to make, is in the human heart. In the end, all the world's wealth and a thousand armies are no match for the strength and decency of the human spirit.
William J. Clinton
It might suprise you to know I think I raised them too much, too
William J. Clinton
People should really take care when they vote, and pay more attention to what people say they're going to do - instead of just how they feel about how things are going.
William J. Clinton
Democracy does not have to be a bloodsport, it can be an honorable enterprise that advances the public interest.
William J. Clinton
We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans.
William J. Clinton
