Bill Clinton

I still believe that we can make a difference.

I want to say to all of you what an incredible honor it has been for me as a citizen of this country, as well as President, to be in the Justice Department for the first time.

The economic figures on the performance of the United States economy in the first 3 months of the year clearly support the policies of this administration.

My goals for this Justice Department are simple.

I still believe those things.

No, I don't need to take him to the woodshed. I need for him to get his spirits up a little. You know, this is like a basketball game. You see, these guys, there were a lot of times that they were in close games; a lot of times they were…

No. I have not made a final decision yet, and I am consulting with them and giving them a chance to tell me what they think we should do. And I think that's the appropriate thing to do. I've tried to proceed here, as I did in Russia, with…

The education programs work, the prevention programs work, but it needs to be more than rhetoric.

The most basic responsibility of the Government is to protect the American people.

Well, what you say may be true in the sense that had there been a reversal there, the position of the Russian Government might have become much more intransigent. It is now, I think, clear that the United States and our allies need to move…

I would hope so. I think it will validate the policy of the United States, which I might say has been by and large a completely bipartisan one. I want to say a special word of appreciation to all the living former Presidents who supported…

There's no greater goal for America's families than to be able to live in their own homes.

These Ambassadors are a talented and experienced group who will, I am sure, represent our country's interests ably.

Our national deficit this year in this budget is going to be much lower than it was thought to be because of the lower interest rates.

If we don't change the way we're going by the end of this decade, we'll be spending 18 percent of our income on health care.

I thought you'd never ask. [Laughter] I hesitate to give you the honest answer. The honest answer is, I'm not sure I still understand it well enough to give you an answer. We have a technology working group in the White House; there are…

This is a victory that belongs to the Russian people and to the courage of Boris Yeltsin.

I called to congratulate him on his outstanding victory in the election.

I want to give you this Presidential commendation for doing something no one ever did before.

This is a special honor for me today to welcome to the White House an historic team.

The Razorbacks, under coach McDonnell, have now won 18 national championships in cross-country and indoor and outdoor track.

I sort of thought he would win on all four.

That's all right, young man, I used to be one.

We can't forget, amidst all the gamesmanship of American political life... that there are real people with real stories.

I believe very strongly that over the last 10 to 12 years the political system... failed our people.
