More quotes by William J. Clinton
The world economy, the world environment, the world AIDS crisis, the world arms race: they affect us all.
William J. Clinton
The Reagan-Bush years have exalted private gain over public obligation, special interests over the common good, wealth and fame over work and family. The 1980s ushered in a Gilded Age of greed and selfishness, of irresponsibility and excess, and of neglect.
William J. Clinton
It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If 'is' means 'is and never has been' that's one thing - if it means 'there is none', that was a completely true statement.
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
Though we march to the music of our time, our mission is timeless.
William J. Clinton
I know that the precise magnitude and patterns of climate change cannot be fully predicted. But global warming clearly is a growing, long-term threat with profound consequences. And make no mistake about it, it will take decades to reverse.
William J. Clinton
I believe that those who promote discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or any other grounds are gravely mistaken about the values that make our nation strong. I will continue to move my administration in the direction of compassion, acceptance, and understanding.
William J. Clinton
When, President Bush asks me to go with his father to the Tsunami impacted areas and help raise money, I was thrilled to do that, because I think we have to always keep looking for common ground.
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
There seems to be no mainframe explanation for the PC world in which we're living.
William J. Clinton
The problem with any ideology is that it gives you the answer before you examine the evidence.
William J. Clinton
Rarely have Americans lived through so much change, in so many ways, in so short a time. Quietly, but with gathering force, the ground has shifted beneath our feet as we have moved into an Information Age, a global economy, a truly new world.
William J. Clinton
Follow the trend lines, not the headlines.
William J. Clinton
Everybody counts, everybody deserves a chance, everybody has a responsible role to play and we all do better when we work together.
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
The world knows of Rosa Parks because of a single, simple act of dignity and courage that struck a lethal blow to the foundations of legal bigotry.
William J. Clinton
I always get nervous when people start talking about legacies.
William J. Clinton
Sometimes I feel like the fire hydrant looking at a pack of dogs.
William J. Clinton
I am opposed to abortion and to government funding of abortions. We should not spend state funds on abortions because so many people believe abortion is wrong.
William J. Clinton
Climate change is more remote than terror but a more profound threat to the future of the children and the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren I hope all of you have.
