George W. Bush

The system isn't fair today, and we need to make it fair.

If Congress chooses to do nothing on this problem, you're either going to have to raise your payroll tax to, some estimate, 18 percent or cut benefits dramatically by 30 percent.

I honor those decisions.

I thank him for that.

The fight continues. We'll stay on the offensive until Al Qaida is defeated.

Free societies, in the long run, will make the world peaceful.

Nothing will change for today's seniors who are getting a Social Security check.

The world would look relatively peaceful if we weren't trying to find the enemy and bring them to justice.

I believe if there's—somebody is willing to employ somebody, and they can't find an American worker, and somebody is willing to do the job, we ought to make that connection a legal connection.

I'll be relentless in chasing down the enemy.

Lithuania serves as a great example of what is possible.

This payroll tax is your money.

I'm a pretty direct person.

A free Belarus is in his country's interest.

Now is the time to do something about it.

Freedom is not owned only by Europeans.

These are people that have recently lived under, in this case, communism and realized what it means to be free.

It's best to find them where they try to hide so that we don't have to deal with them here at home.

If it is good enough for a Member of the United States Congress to set aside some of his or her own money in a personal savings account so they get a better rate of return, it ought to be good enough for workers all across the United…

Franklin Roosevelt did a wise thing when he set up the Social Security system.

I believe that time will help heal the wounds.

I want to thank the people of Lithuania for the warm reception Laura and I received.

Latvia is a close friend.

It has been hard; the transition from communism to a free democracy is a hard transition.

I'm going to continue to speak very forcefully on freedom and liberty.
