Bill Clinton

I'm having a great day today.

If you work hard, you also have to work smart.

I also ask Congress to invest in child care options that can be used to provide child care for children up to age 13.

Today I renew my call to Congress to affirm the FDA's authority to limit tobacco marketing and sales to youth.

The next 8 years can be better.

You've got to have some reason to run bigger than yourself.

I'm pretty optimistic.

It won't happen by accident.

Herb Bateman was a fine man and dedicated public servant who will be missed by many.

Raising children is the most important job any mother or father does.

Far too many children have no care when they are not in school.

This is a good man representing you in Congress.

That's the speech everybody ought to be giving around America this year.

We'll also soon establish one-stop centers in Idaho and Montana, so that citizens can gain quick access to assistance.

I saw it firsthand in Idaho last month, and I'll never forget it.

This year our Nation is experiencing one of the worst wildfire seasons in memory.

We're reducing the risk of fire on more than 2.4 million acres a year, a fivefold increase since 1994.

More than 6.6 million acres have burned already, and more than 35 large fires continue in 9 States.

The Executive is up and running, which is critical, and it's starting to actually make a difference in people's lives on the ground in Northern Ireland.

I do think there ought to be one person in the Senate who is a recognized national lifetime advocate and expert on children's issues and on the relationship of work and childrearing and on education and health care.

All the best things are still out there.

I think it is important to point out something that you know because it's a part of what you do every day, and that is that the most important force in the world are ideas—forces in the world.

The nature and number of international conflicts demanding UN involvement has shifted fundamentally over the past decade.

I commend the House of Representatives for its broad bipartisan approval today of the child support distribution act.

It benefits only 2 percent of all estates in America and provides half of its benefits to about 3,000 families annually.
