George W. Bush: “I urge the Senate to listen to the will of the Senators and move a bill.”

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

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