Bill Clinton

I hope you will continue to labor for peace here because, if we can complete this peace process...you can't imagine what it will enable the United States to do in trying to stand up for peace in other parts of the world.

By those standards, this is a very wealthy nation indeed.

We honor the heroes of our past, who built our great cities, bridges, and railways.

Anytime we can pad your crowd, Taoiseach, we want to do that.

In large part because of their efforts, productivity, and commitment to excellence, our nation is enjoying unprecedented growth and prosperity.

The most important thing I can say to you here today is, I hope you will continue to be a model for the world in responsible citizenship.

It now appears that there were no survivors in what is the worst tragedy in the history of Swissair.

I can't say enough about the role of the Taoiseach in making this Irish peace process come to fruition.

The Irish story is a truly astonishing, astonishing thing that I believe can be a model for nations large and small throughout the world.

Yet, in the spirit of those who came before us, we must not become self-satisfied or complacent.

I think it's important that you know it's a step forward not only for Irish people but for all people divided, everywhere, who are seeking new ways to think about old problems.

Technology, if we handle it right, will be one of the great liberating and equalizing forces in all of human history.

Our economy is the best it has been in a generation.

The United States is proud of our Irish ties, and I am personally extremely grateful for what has been done here in these last few years.

I think this agreement we have signed today...will stand for what I hope will be the future direction of your economy and America's.

As we celebrate Labor Day, let us recommit ourselves to raising the minimum wage.

May the nightmares stay gone, the dreams stay bright, and the responsibilities wear easily on your shoulder, because the future is yours.

I would like to thank the Royal College of Surgeons for making it possible for us to be here and for setting a standard for international excellence.

I welcome it as the kind of action essential not only to fulfill the Good Friday commitments, but to deepen public confidence in the overall process of making peace a reality in Northern Ireland.

Together, people and leaders are moving Northern Ireland from the deep freeze of despair to the warm sunlight of peace.

Indeed, I am tempted in this city of saints and cathedrals to call the peace of 1998 a miracle.

This site will be a living, breathing monument to the triumph of peace.

I remain determined to see Iraq comply fully with all of its obligations under UNSC resolutions.

When I go now to other troubled places, I point to you as proof that peace is not an idle daydream.

We will continue to maintain a robust force posture.
