Almighty God, we make our Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that thou wilt keep the United States in thy holy protection.

Wine is like beer except different.

In recent weeks we learned that scientists have created human embryos in test tubes solely to experiment on them. This is deeply troubling, and a warning sign that should prompt all of us to think through these issues very carefully.

History is moving, and it will tend toward hope, or tend toward tragedy.

There is a natural greenhouse effect that contributes to warming. Greenhouse gases trap heat and thus warm the Earth because they prevent a significant proportion of infrared radiation from escaping into space.

If we wait for threats to fully materialize, we will have waited too long.

In the corporate world, sometimes things aren’t exactly black and white when it comes to accounting procedures.

My job is to lead.

It was amazing I won. I was running against peace and prosperity and incumbency.

I hear there’s rumors on the Internets that we’re going to have a draft.

I’m the commander—see, I don’t need to explain—I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being president.

I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.

There are cameras nowadays that have been developed to tell the difference between a squirrel and a bomb.

America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred in all forms. As we pray for Charlottesville, we are reminded of the fundamental truths recorded by that city’s most prominent citizen in the Declaration of Independence: We are all created equal and endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights. We know these truths to be everlasting because we have seen the decency and greatness of our country.

America needs a military where our breast and brightest are proud to serve.

Today the Justice Department did issue a blanket alert. It was in recognition of a general threat we received. This is not the first time the Justice Department have acted like this. I hope it is the last. But given the attitude of the evildoers, it may not be.

I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to come and witness my hanging.

We ought to be using nuclear power. It’s a renewable source of energy.

Some of the scientists, I believe, haven’t they been changing their opinion a little bit on global warming? There’s a lot of differing opinions and before we react I think it’s best to have the full accounting, full understanding of what’s taking place.

America is the land of the second chance – and when the gates of the prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life.

I believe in the transformational power of liberty. I believe that the free Iraq is in this nation’s interests. I believe a free Afghanistan is in this nation’s interest.

The thing that’s wrong with the French is that they don’t have a word for entrepreneur.

One of my proudest moments is I didn’t sell my soul for the sake of popularity.

No one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn’t find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.

But I’m mindful in a free society that people can worship if they want to or not. You’re equally an American if you choose to worship an Almighty and if you choose not to. If you’re a Christian, Jew, or Muslim you’re equally an American. That’s the great thing about America is the right to worship the way you see fit. Prayer and religion sustain me. I receive calmness in the storms of the presidency. I love the fact that people pray for me and my family all around the country. Somebody asked me one time, how do you know? I said I just feel it.

We’ve been able to watch on our television screens sophisticated weaponry find a building; and we’ve seen dramatic reports from the front where Pulitzer Prize-to-be winning reporters stood up and declared, the United States is attacked, and all that.

I want to remind you all that in order to fight and win the war, it requires an expenditure of money that is commiserate with keeping a promise to our troops to make sure that they’re well paid, well trained, well equipped.

When our children and grandchildren look back on this period, one question will overwhelm all the rest: Did we do everything in our power to fight and to win the war on terror? That’s the fundamental question this generation faces.

Never ask anyone over 70 how they feel. They’ll tell you.

It’s much worse to read criticism about your son than yourself.

I believe in grace because I’ve seen it and peace because I’ve felt it and forgiveness because I’ve needed it.

My administration has a job to do and we’re going to do it. We will rid the world of the evil-doers.

I will keep America moving forward, always forward, for a better America, for an endless enduring dream and a Thousand Points of Light. This is my mission, and I will complete it.

America is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world.

Americans understand we fight not a religion; ours is not a campaign against the Muslim faith. Ours is a campaign against evil.

I’ve made it clear, Madam President, that the war against terrorism is not a war against Muslims, nor is it a war against Arabs. It’s a war against evil people who conduct crimes against innocent people.

I think it’s really important for this great state of baseball to reach out to people of all walks of life to make sure that the sport is inclusive. The best way to do it is to convince little kids how to—the beauty of playing baseball.

You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war president. No president wants to be a war president, but I am one.

There’s a huge trust. I see it all the time when people come up to me and say, ‘I don’t want you to let me down again.

I’m the decider, and I decide what is best. And what’s best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of defense.

Neither in French nor in English nor in Mexican.

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

The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants.

I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe – I believe what I believe is right.

Goodbye, from the world’s biggest polluter.

The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world

America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.

Wait a minute. What did you just say? You’re predicting $4-a-gallon gas? … That’s interesting. I hadn’t heard that.

The way I see it is, I am a boon to the English language.

This is still a dangerous world. It’s a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses.

My job is to, like, think beyond the immediate.

The signal we ought to send to our children is that in spite of what happened in the ’60s and ’70s, we have learned some lessons. And the lessons ought to be: don’t be using drugs and alcohol.

The United States of America is an enemy of those who aid terrorists and of the barbaric criminals who profane a great religion by committing murder in its name.

And they have no disregard for human life.

I can’t wait to join you in the joy of welcoming neighbours back into neighbourhoods, and small businesses up and running, and cutting those ribbons that somebody is creating new jobs.

The message is for everybody who wears the uniform: get ready. The United States will do what it takes to win this war… And this is an administration that is going to dedicate ourselves to winning that war.

Listen, Al Gore is a very tough opponent. He is the incumbent. He represents the incumbency. And a challenger is somebody who generally comes from the pack and wins, if you’re going to win. And that’s where I’m coming from.

America is a Nation with a mission – and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace – a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman.

Reading history while you make history can teach you a lot.

It would be a mistake for the United States Senate to allow any kind of human cloning to come out of that chamber.

Many people are coming to this country for economic reasons. They’re coming here to work. If you can make 50 cents in the heart of Mexico, for example, or make $5 here in America, $5.15, you’re going to come here if you’re worth your salt, if you want to put food on the table for your families. And that’s what’s happening.

The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself. The enemy of America is not our many Muslim friends; it is not our many Arab friends. Our enemy is a radical network of terrorists, and every government that supports them.

The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country.

America rejects bigotry. We reject every act of hatred against people of Arab background or Muslim faith America values and welcomes peaceful people of all faiths – Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, and many others. Every faith is practiced and protected here because we are one country. Every immigrant can be fully and equally American because we’re one country. Race and color should not divide us, because America is one country.

You know, I could run for governor and all this but I’m basically a media creation.  I’ve never really done anything.  I’ve worked for my dad.  I worked in the oil industry.  But that’s not the kind of profile you have to have to get elected to public office.

The very act of spending money can be expensive.

I want to be the peace president.

Mankind is drawn to the heavens for the same reason we were once drawn into unknown lands and across the open sea. We choose to explore space because doing so improves our lives, and lifts our national spirit. So let us continue the journey.

If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure.

Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children.

I frankly felt like the reception we received on the way in from the airport was very warm and hospitable. And I want to thank the Canadian people who came out to wave — with all five fingers — for their hospitality.

In my sentences I go where no man has gone before.

More and more of our imports come from overseas.

If I’m the president, we’re going to have emergency-room care, we’re going to have gag orders.

Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.

We do not create terrorism by fighting the terrorists. We invite terrorism by ignoring them.

We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.

This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table.

I reads every chance I can gets.

Drug therapies are replacing a lot of medicines as we used to know it.

I think we ought to raise the age at which juveniles can have a gun.

Just remember it’s the birds that’s supposed to suffer, not the hunter.

The illiteracy level of our children are appalling.

We need an energy bill that encourages consumption.

I hope my own children never have to fight a war.

I want to thank the dozens of welfare-to-work stories, the actual examples of people who made the firm and solemn commitment to work hard to embetter themselves.

There’s no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail.

We don’t want Washington Democrats running the House of Representatives.

If you raise taxes during a recession, you head to depression.

I’m always moving forward. … I’m a person who’s fairly spontaneous, and I don’t brood and I don’t get stuck.

I don’t spend a lot of time trying to figure me out. … I’m just not into psychobabble.

Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time.

Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended.

When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as the savior, it changes your heart.

The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace.

“I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace.

The day will come — and it is not far off — when the legacy of Lincoln will finally be fulfilled at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, when a black man or woman will sit in the Oval Office. When that day comes, the most remarkable thing about it will be how naturally it occurs.

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

I plan to put something back into society, and not at the head table, not always in the glamour, certainly not with a lot of news attention.

The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war.

You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.
