Bill Clinton

This is an important opening, but there is a lot of work ahead now in the negotiations themselves.

There’s the Congressmen clapping out there, tell you the truth.

This country was not built by cynics, it was built by believers.

The order applies to all Haitian nationals resident in Haiti regardless of the amount.

Those people did not put their lives on the line so that their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren should live cynically in America.

I thought that we could not be strong abroad unless we were strong at home.

What matters is what they say and what they do.

Most of the folks I've known in public life the last 20 years in both parties were honest and decent and worked hard and tried to do right.

If you give them the power to do it, they will secure our freedom.

The GI bill helped over 15 million returning veterans begin that journey.

This legislation establishes the toughest child support enforcement program ever.

We recognize the importance of a decent home and suitable living environment as a national goal for every American family.

We owe every child in America the chance to watch their parents assume the responsibility and dignity of a real job.

We must not ask people to choose between being good parents and good workers.

I have personally enjoyed very much the relationship that we have had working together on the Partnership For Peace concept and in many other areas.

We can do these things, and unless we also empower our people to deal with the challenges of the global economy, as we did with the GI bill, we're going to have a tough time.

Homelessness is not a short-term emergency.

This legislation reinforces the fundamental values of work, responsibility, family, and community.

All property and interests in property of any Haitian national resident in Haiti are blocked.
