George H. W. Bush

Lincoln said you cannot be President without spending some item on your knees. I have repeated that and a bunch of Atheists got all over me. Wait a minute. Does that mean that you cannot be President if you are an Atheist? I say yea that does mean that.

You have to understand that people that are hurting are going to criticize.

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

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

For 18 years I have resisted talking about current events. I am not going to start now.

I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don’t always agree with them.

As the United States geared up to overthrow the Mossadeq government, his media image deteriorated and he was routinely condemned as a dictator. The Shah, however, was virtually never described in such terms as long as his power held.

If a prospective Presidential approach can’t be explained clearly enough to be understood well, it probably hasn’t been thought through well enough. If not well understood by the American people, it probably won’t “sail” anyway. Send it back for further thought.

We have before us the examples of the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. We must remember how long these required to achieve their union. When a solid foundation is laid, if the mason is able and his materials good, a strong house can be built.

Our ignorance can be divided into problems and mysteries. When we face a problem, we may not know its solution, but we have insight, increasing knowledge, and an inkling of what we are looking for. When we face a mystery, however, we can only stare in wonder and bewilderment, not knowing what an explanation would even look like.

According to polls released by the Brookings Institution in August [2011], some Arabs agree with Washington and western commentators that Iran is a threat: 10%. In contrast, they regard the US and Israel as the major threats (77%; 88%).

My use of social media is not presidential – it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again!

Gratitude is a sickness suffered by dogs.

The term ‘dissidents’ is pretty much restricted to critics on the enemy’s side, who we honor and respect. On our side, they’re subjected to one or another form of punishment.

Education is a system of imposed ignorance.

I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any treat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.

The Europeans destroyed what was in their way. That was true over almost the entire world, with very few exceptions. European wars were wars of extermination. If we were to be honest about that history, we would describe it simply as a barbarian invasion.

I believe something is very wrong with the history of our country and how we have messed up the African National Congress.

Anarcho-syndicalism took for granted that working people ought to control their own work, its conditions, that they ought to control the enterprises in which they work, along with communities, so they should be associated with one another in free associations…

I’m going to be so much better a president for having been at the CIA that you’re not going to believe it.

A free press is essential to our democracy, but much of our press isn’t very free at all.
