George W. Bush: “Prayer leads to greater humility and a more grateful spirit.”

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.

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

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.
