George W. Bush

I believe every child can learn and every school can teach.

No, I don't believe it's going to happen.

It's hard work to go from a tyranny to a democracy.

I'm going to keep them low.

I welcome the important debate underway across America on this issue.

The role of Government is to help people realize their dreams, not to tell people how to live their lives.

I hereby determine it necessary for the purposes of the Act that $24,852,500 made available under Chapter 3 of Part I of the Act for Fiscal Year 2004 be transferred to, and consolidated with, funds made available under Chapter 4 of Part II…

I thank them for their example.

Because activist judges and local officials in some parts of the country are seeking to redefine marriage for the rest of the country, we must remain vigilant in defending traditional marriage.

Marriage is the foundation of society and should not be redefined by a few activist judges and local officials.

I've got a plan to fight these terrorists, to keep this country secure.

I've told him that. He's also a strong ally in the war on terror.

The Federal Government is committed to helping people here get back on their feet.

The work ahead is demanding.

We believe that it's important to continue to move forward on the political front.

We continue to make steady progress on the ground to help the Iraqi people build a nation that is self-governing.

I think our position is very clear, that we support Prime Minister Allawi and the leaders in Iraq.

See, I believe we ought to continue to expand health savings accounts.

I hereby designate these specific proposals in the amounts requested herein as emergency requirements.

The job of Government is to help people realize their dreams, not to dictate to people.

We must have allies standing with us in the broader Middle East.

Every child should have a chance to succeed because every child has been taught how to read and write and add and subtract.

Putting money into a system that believes in the worth of every child and is focused on results is money well spent.

On the first day of school, children need to know letters and numbers. They need a strong vocabulary. And they need to love books.
