George W. Bush Presidential Quotations

I regret that a private comment I made to the vice presidential candidate made it through the public airways.

Recognizing and confronting our history is important. Transcending our history is essential. We are not limited by what we have done, or what we have left undone. We are limited only by what we are willing to do.

It's important for the writers of the presidential daily brief to feel comfortable that the documents will never be politicized and/or unnecessarily exposed for public purview.

I knew it might put him in an awkward position that we had a discussion before finality has finally happened in this presidential race.

Compassionate conservative soft bigotry of low expectations.

We are not deceived by their pretenses to piety. We have seen their kind before. They are the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions - by abandoning every value except the will to power - they follow in the path of fascism, and Nazism, and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way, to where it ends: in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies.

If you don't feel something strongly you're not going to achieve.

You never know what your history is going to be like until long after you're gone.

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.

One of my hardest parts of my job is to console the family members who have lost their life.

I feel like God wants me to run for president. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen. I know it won't be easy on my family, but God wants me to do it.
