George W. Bush

After the chaos and carnage of September 11th, it is not enough to serve our enemies with legal papers.

We will stand up for our friends in the world. And one of the most important friends is the State of Israel. My administration will be steadfast in support Israel against terrorism and violence, and in seeking the peace for which all Israelis pray.

We've climbed the mighty mountain. I see the valley below, and it's a valley of peace.

We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.

We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and Freedom will prevail.

America is a Nation with a mission - and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace - a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman.

Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.

If you're sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign.

People make suggestions on what to say all the time. I'll give you an example; I don't read what's handed to me. People say, 'Here, here's your speech, or here's an idea for a speech.' They're changed. Trust me.

Our Nation must defend the sanctity of marriage.

I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman.

Faith crosses every border and touches every heart in every nation.

Today we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.

Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time.

I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.

The terrorists are fighting freedom with all their cunning and cruelty because freedom is their greatest fear - and they should be afraid, because freedom is on the march.

Everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear.

America is the land of the second chance - and when the gates of the prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life.
