George W. Bush

The spirit of America is found in the character of our citizens.

This is a nation of character and values.

Not all the wisdom in the world is in Washington, DC.

Democracy depends upon our citizenry becoming involved.

I feel very strongly about it because I'm worried about the cycle of violence continuing to escalate.

I intend to designate Patrick Henry Wood III of Texas to be Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

We're going to stand tall for freedom and America, that what's good for America is going to be paramount to my way of thinking.

I am a big believer in the Park System.

Through good management of our forests we can prevent forest fires.

And I want to thank Wayne for his help on repealing the estate tax.

We have been engaged in the Middle East ever since I got sworn in.

I've said all I'm going to say for a while.

About time you learned something.

I like Washington a lot. But I also like here.

I'm confident we'll get a lot done, and I believe we will.

We will never get to Mitchell until the leadership works to reduce and stop violence.

I'm going to be moving around some, and it's good.

This council will keep us apprised of new developments and give our nation a forum to continue to discuss and evaluate these important issues.

I worry about a culture that devalues life, and believe as your President I have an important obligation to foster and encourage respect for life.

Even the most noble ends do not justify any means.
