More Bill Clinton Quotes

It won't happen in a day. But if we work together and we work hard, every year we can see progress.

Better to make a mistake and correct it than to sit on the sidelines and not try to change the country.

Push us to do better. Push us to keep making progress.

We can turn it around; we absolutely can, but it's going to take some time.
