More quotes by William J. Clinton
Only a fool does not look to explain his mistakes.
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
America's greatness depends on the ability of its citizens to make the most of their lives. Americans with disabilities are an enormous, often untapped reservoir of that potential.
William J. Clinton
When it comes to anything that's social, whether it's your family, your school, your community, your business or your country, winning is a team sport.
William J. Clinton
Music is about communication, creativity, and cooperation, and by studying music in schools, students have the opportunity to build on these skills, enrich their lives, and experience the world from a new perspective.
William J. Clinton
I made a big mistake. It is indefensible and I am sorry.
William J. Clinton
One of the things that all kids are taught by their parents is this old sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
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
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
All America loses when any person is denied or forced out of a job because of sexual orientation. Being gay, the last time I thought about it, seemed to have nothing to do with the ability to read a balance book, fix a broken bone, or change a spark plug.
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
What we did with deeming rules were designed - it was designed to keep costs from coming on to the government that should be borne by families of immigrants who actually have incomes and can afford to pay.
William J. Clinton
I pledge that I have no intention of raising taxes in my second term.
William J. Clinton
If, two people have good minds and they're looking at problems, if they agree all the time it means one of them is not thinking. If they disagree all the time, it means one of them is not thinking. They're just allowing their political position to dictate their position on an issue. And I think that's unhealthy. And the public knows better.
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
$100,000 donors buy access to Congress and the White House. We believe it's long past time to clean up Washington.
William J. Clinton
Even if it takes changing the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got.
William J. Clinton
True Excellence requires a worthy dream, a good Idea of how to realize it and the courage to risk failure to achieve it.
William J. Clinton
Nearly everyone will lie to you, given the right circumstances.
William J. Clinton
I refuse to be part of a generation that celebrates the death of communism abroad with the loss of the American dream at home.
William J. Clinton
