George W. Bush: “In this great Nation, it is always possible for a child to go as far as their talent and vision can take them.”

I have confidence in the promise of America because I know the character of our people.

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

For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence—a time set apart.

I'm really happy to be back in this great state.
