George W. Bush: “America and Europe face a moment of consequence and opportunity.”

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

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

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

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.
