George W. Bush

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.

what America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.

seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.

That is the America I know.

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

I've studied Jeb's plan to defeat ISIS.

Jeb has pledged to rebuild our Armed Forces and overhaul the V.A.
