George W. Bush: “We believe that freedom is the Almighty God's gift to each and every person on this globe.”

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil. This is a tribute to those who toil night and day to keep us safe.

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

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.
