George W. Bush: “It's a beautiful day for a bike ride.”

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

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

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.

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.
