A President is neither prince nor pope, and I don't seek a window on men's souls. In fact, I yearn for a greater tolerance, an easy-goingness about each other's attitudes and way of life.

Great nations of the world are moving toward democracy.

I believe with all my heart that one cannot be America's president without a belief in God, without the strength that your faith gives you.

Fluency in English is something that I'm often not accused of.

But I see history as a book with many pages--and each day we fill a page with acts of hopefulness and meaning.

We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf , as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective - a new world order - can emerge: a new era - freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, East and West, North and South, can prosper and live in harmony.

Don't try to fine-tune somebody else's view.
