I cut the taxes on everybody. I didn't cut them. The Congress cut them. I asked them to cut them.

I am honored to have served. I'm glad I ran. It is a huge honor to be able to be a two-term president. It was really a great experience. I'm fortunate to have been able to serve. And I think that's enough.

This is a nation that loves our freedom, loves our country.

I think all presidents should take the long view of history.

Outwit, outlast, outplay. It's the tagline for the television show Survivor and it's damn near what presidenting is like, too.

There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like.
