I, George Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the decade beginning January 1, 1990, as the Decade of the Brain.

It's amazing how many people beat you at golf now that you're no longer president.

Real improvement in our schools is not simply a matter of spending more, it is a matter of expecting more.

Don't confuse being 'soft' with seeing the other guy's point of view.

Know what you're talking about.

We don't want an America that is closed to the world. What we want is a world that is open to America.

Think about every problem, every challenge, we face. The solution to each starts with education.
