Study hard; and you might grow up to be President. But let's face it: Even then, you'll never make as much money as your dog.

The U.S.S. George H. W. Bush is a great thing in my life. It's amazing. A great honor.

Freedom and the power to choose should not be the privilege of wealth. They are the birthright of every American.

I think 9/11 guaranteed that national security is going to be in the forefront of every election.

As president, I watched in wonder as Nelson Mandela had the remarkable capacity to forgive his jailers following 26 years of wrongful imprisonment - setting a powerful example of redemption and grace for us all.

A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken. There are times when the future seems thick as a fog; you sit and wait, hoping the mists will lift and reveal the right path. But this is a time when the future seems a door you can walk right through into a room called tomorrow.

What's wrong with being a boring kind of guy?
