We should - we will - welcome people of faith into the political process... It is essential that believers enter the arena. Your involvement in politics helps determine how well our democracy works. We have finally learned that government programs cannot solve our problems. Government can hand out money, but government cannot put hope in our hearts or a sense of purpose in our lives.

People say, well, do you ever hear any other voices other than, like, a few people? Of course I do.

I didn't -- I swear I didn't -- get into politics to feather my nest or feather my friends' nests.

The law I sign today directs new funds and new focus to the task of collecting vital intelligence on terrorist threats and on weapons of mass production.

America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.

We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace. We know that oppressive governments support terror, while free governments fight the terrorists in their midst. We know that free peoples embrace progress and life, instead of becoming the recruits for murderous ideologies.

I don't particularly like it when people put words in my mouth, either, by the way, unless I say it.
