George W. Bush - Press Conference, White House, Tuesday, April 13, 2004

I believe that freedom is the deepest need of every human soul.
George W. Bush - http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/05/20050524-3.html
See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.
George W. Bush - Speech to UN General Assembly, September 21, 2004
For too long, many nations, including my own, tolerated, even excused, oppression in the Middle East in the name of stability. Oppression became common, but stability never arrived. We must take a different approach. We must help the reformers of the Middle East as they work for freedom, and strive to build a community of peaceful, democratic nations.
George W. Bush
America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our country.
George W. Bush - Inaugural address, 2001
America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.
George W. Bush - September 7, 2003
We have learned that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength; they are invited by the perception of weakness. And the surest way to avoid attacks on our own people is to engage the enemy where he lives and plans. We are fighting that enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan today so that we do not meet him again on our own streets, in our own cities.
George W. Bush - Speech to UN General Assembly, September 21, 2004
The advance of liberty is the path to both a safer and better world.
George W. Bush
Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or justice to our enemies, justice will be done.
George W. Bush - Speech to the United Nations, September 12, 2002
By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.
George W. Bush - State of the Union address, January 20, 2004
I believe that God has planted in every human heart the desire to live in freedom. And even when that desire is crushed by tyranny for decades, it will rise again.
George W. Bush - speech, November 19, 1999
American foreign policy must be more than the management of crisis. It must have a great and guiding goal: to turn this time of American influence into generations of democratic peace.
George W. Bush - September 20, 2001
Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.
George W. Bush - Speech to UN General Assembly, September 21, 2004
We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace. We know that oppressive governments support terror, while free governments fight the terrorists in their midst. We know that free peoples embrace progress and life, instead of becoming the recruits for murderous ideologies.
George W. Bush - Speech (2005)
The agenda of the roadblock is the philosophy of the stop sign.
George W. Bush - September 2, 2004, The Republican National Convention, N.Y.
I respect every soldier, from every country, who serves beside us in the hard work of history. America is grateful, and America will not forget.
George W. Bush - Robin Williams, Live on Broadway
Most of our imports come from other countries.
George W. Bush
History is moving, and it will tend toward hope, or tend toward tragedy.
George W. Bush - Speech to UN General Assembly, September 21, 2004
The desire for freedom resides in every human heart. And that desire cannot be contained forever by prison walls, or martial laws, or secret police. Over time, and across the Earth, freedom will find a way.
George W. Bush - speech, November 19, 1999
America has never been an empire. We may be the only great power in history that had the chance, and refused ? preferring greatness to power and justice to glory.
George W. Bush - Klein, J. (2004). The perils of a righteous president. Time, May 17: 25.
God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know He is on the side of justice. Our finest moments [as a nation] have come when we faithfully served the cause of justice for our own citizens, and for the people of other lands.
George W. Bush - Gov. of Texas, state leading in executions
States should have the right to enact... laws...particularly to end the inhumane practice of ending a life that otherwise could live.
George W. Bush - BBC/CNN
Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him!
(said after capture of Saddam)
George W. Bush - speech, November 19, 1999
In the defense of our nation, a president must be a clear-eyed realist. There are limits to the smiles and scowls of diplomacy. Armies and missiles are not stopped by stiff notes of condemnation. They are held in check by strength and purpose and the promise of swift punishment.
George W. Bush - speech, November 19, 1999
The case for trade is not just monetary, but moral. Economic freedom creates habits of liberty. And habits of liberty create expectations of democracy.
George W. Bush - On his meeting with John McCain, Dallas Morning News, May 10, 2000
I think we agree, the past is over.
George W. Bush
America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.
George W. Bush - Inaugural address, 2001
The peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.

Whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done.
George W. Bush - On TV, about his passing out eating a pretzel
Chew before you swallow.

Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance and love have no end.
George W. Bush
If America shows weakness and uncertainty, the world will drift toward tragedy. That will not happen on my watch.
George W. Bush - Speech after 9/11 attacks
We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.
