We share common interests and values, a belief in the democratic form of government, a belief in the free market processes.

We'll discover that everything will be all right as long as we talk to each other instead of about each other.

I think if they reverse this decision to sell, they are literally doing away with our ability to continue to try to bring peace to the Middle East.

There are programs that are being abused by people.

I'm not going to take the blame.

I believe these talks have laid a foundation for expanding cooperation.

We seek the closest of ties with the nations of Africa.

The United States and Kenya have an impressive list of cooperation—or history, I should say—of cooperation and good relations.

I've asked Congress for significant assistance levels for Africa.

I have today signed into law H.R. 2120, the Product Liability Risk Retention Act of 1981.

We can try to run from it, but we can't hide.

I have pledged that we shall not stand idly by and see that same thing happen again.

Let there be no mistake: We have no choice but to continue down the road toward a balanced budget.

Government's first responsibility is national security, and we're determined to meet that responsibility.

We're launching a nationwide effort to encourage our citizens to join with us in finding where need exists.

Wisdom is the quality we look for most in our judges.

Law alone can give us freedom.

I believe we've chosen a path that leads to an America at work, to fiscal sanity, to lower taxes, and less inflation.

I can not and will not stand by and see financial hardship imposed on the more than 36 million senior citizens.

Our heritage of individual liberty is dependent on the rule of law.
