George Bush citáty page 23

„Nijaká úradná moc nemôže Američanovi zabrániť, aby prisahal vernosť tomuto národu pred Bohom.“

„Toto je veľmi pozitívny deň pre iracký ľud a rovnako aj pre svetový mier. Demokracie sú pokojné krajiny. Všetko naznačuje, že účasť bola väčšia ako na januárových voľbách, čo je dobrá správa. A všetko naznačuje, že sunniti sa zúčastnili vo väčšom počte ako na ostatných voľbách. Tiež ma potešilo, že podľa prvých indikácií bola úroveň násilia výrazne nižšia ako na posledných voľbách.
Po referende o prijatí novej irackej ústavy“

“May God bless you all.”

“All life is precious.”

“Our identity as a nation — unlike many other nations — is not determined by geography or ethnicity, by soil or blood. Being an American involves the embrace of high ideals and civic responsibility. We become the heirs of Thomas Jefferson by accepting the ideal of human dignity found in the Declaration of Independence. We become the heirs of James Madison by understanding the genius and values of the U. S. Constitution. We become the heirs of Martin Luther King, Jr., by recognizing one another not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. This means that people of every race, religion, and ethnicity can be fully and equally American. It means that bigotry or white supremacy in any form is blasphemy against the American creed. And it means that the very identity of our nation depends on the passing of civic ideals to the next generation… Self-correction is the secret strength of freedom. We are a nation with a history of resilience and a genius for renewal.”

2010s, 2011, Q&A with Former President George W. Bush (January 2011)

“What you do is as important as anything government does. I ask you to seek a common good beyond your comfort; to defend needed reforms against easy attacks; to serve your nation, beginning with your neighbor.”

A short time later, debris was seen falling from the skies above Texas. The Columbia is lost; there are no survivors.
2000s, 2003, Remarks after Columbia space shuttle disaster (February 2003)

“But the stakes for America are never small. If our country does not lead the cause of freedom, it will not be led.”

I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens, building communities of service and a nation of character.
2000s, 2001, First inaugural address (January 2001)

“A great nation does not hide its history. It faces its flaws and corrects them.”

If we do not turn the hearts of children toward knowledge and character, we will lose their gifts and undermine their idealism. If we permit our economy to drift and decline, the vulnerable will suffer most.
2000s, 2001, First inaugural address (January 2001)

“And whenever we need hope and inspiration, we can look to the skies and remember. God bless.”
