I want you to know that farmers are not going to be secondary thoughts to a Bush administration. They will be in the forethought of our thinking.Collection: Humor
You might want to comment on that, Honorable.Collection: Humor

There's not going to be enough people in the system to take advantage of people like me.Collection: Humor
This is a world that is much more uncertain than the past. In the past we were certain, we were certain it was us versus the Russians in the past. We were certain, and therefore we had huge nuclear arsenals aimed at each other to keep the peace. That's what we were certain of... You see, even though it's an uncertain world, we're certain of some things. We're certain that even though the "evil empire" may have passed, evil still remains.Collection: Humor
We're certain there are people that can't stand what America stands for... We're certain there are madmen in this world, and there's terror, and there's missiles and I'm certain of this, too: I'm certain to maintain the peace, we better have a military of high morale, and I'm certain that under this administration, morale in the military is dangerously low.Collection: Military

I hope we get to the bottom of the answer. It's what I'm interested to know.Collection: Humor
Laura and I really don't realize how bright our children is sometimes until we get an objective analysis.Collection: Children
You subscribe politics to it. I subscribe freedom to it.Collection: Humor
We want our teachers to be trained so they can meet the obligations, their obligations as teachers. We want them to know how to teach the science of reading. In order to make sure there's not this kind of federal-federal cufflink.Collection: Teacher
Other Republican candidates may retort to personal attacks and negative ads.Collection: Humor
I've got a reason for running. I talk about a larger goal, which is to call upon the best of America. It's part of the renewal. It's reform and renewal. Part of the renewal is a set of high standards and to remind people that the greatness of America really does depend on neighbors helping neighbors and children finding mentors. I worry. I'm very worried about, you know, the kid who just wonders whether America is meant for him. I really worry about that.Collection: Running
And uh, so, I'm running for a reason. I'm answering this question here and the answer is, you cannot lead America to a positive tomorrow with revenge on one's mind. Revenge is so incredibly negative. And so to answer your question, I'm going to win because people sense my heart, know my sense of optimism and know where I want to lead the country. And I tease people by saying, "A leader, you can't say, follow me the world is going to be worse." I'm an optimistic person. I'm an inherently content person.Collection: Country
I've got a great sense of where I want to lead and I'm comfortable with why I'm running. And, you know, the call on that speech was, beware. This is going to be a tough campaign.Collection: Running
The fact that he relies on facts - says things that are not factual - are going to undermine his campaign.Collection: Humor
I don't have to accept their tenants. I was trying to convince those college students to accept my tenants. And I reject any labeling me because I happened to go to the university.Collection: Humor
Really proud of it. A great campaign. And I'm really pleased with the organization and the thousands of South Carolinians that worked on my behalf. And I'm very gracious and humbled.Collection: Humor
The senator has got to understand if he's going to have - he can't have it both ways. He can't take the high horse and then claim the low road.Collection: Horse
How do you know if you don't measure if you have a system that simply suckles kids through?Collection: Humor
I've changed my style somewhat, as you know. I'm less - I pontificate less, although it may be hard to tell it from this show. And I'm more interacting with people.Collection: Humor
What I am against is quotas. I am against hard quotas, quotas they basically delineate based upon whatever. However they delineate, quotas, I think vulcanize society. So I don't know how that fits into what everybody else is saying, their relative positions, but that's my position.Collection: Humor
Governor Bush will not stand for the subsidation of failure.Collection: Humor
I read the newspaper.Collection: Humor
There were tactical decisions that I wish I could have done differently: mission accomplished, not revealing my drunken driving charge prior to my run for the presidency, flying over New Orleans on Katrina and the pictures being released and people saying, "he's aloof and doesn't really care."Collection: Running
My hope was that by saying clearly to Saddam Hussein, "we're going to enforce UN Resolutions," that he would make the decision to leave peaceably and at least allow for inspectors to come into his country, and if he chose not to, there would be a military option. I want people to understand that the military was my last option. I had a strategy and hopefully solving the problem peacefully - and it wasn't just me, it was a coalition of nations that were involved.Collection: Country
I'm playing golf. I ride my mountain bike. A lot. I think it's very important for me and other people my age to continue to exercise.Collection: Exercise

My advice to seniors - and I consider myself one - is to first and foremost take care of your body. Secondly, find something where you could say, "I'm helping somebody else." And it may be just helping raise a grandkid. Or teaching a child to read - one child to read.Collection: Senior
Having purpose. I had purpose during my presidency, and I've got purpose after my presidency.Collection: Purpose
I hope I'm as graceful and gracious as [my parents] are. It's hard for me to project how I'm gonna be if I make it to 86.Collection: Parent
I'm just beginning to live the next chapter of my life. In other words, politics - being governor and president - is not the end of my life. It's a chapter.Collection: President
I ended up being the 43rd president of the United States. It was an awesome experience, and I'm glad I did it.Collection: President
I've written a book that hopefully will give people a sense of what [presidency] was like. I hope my friends read it and say, "Now I understand." I hope my detractors read it and say, "Well, I better understand."Collection: Book
One thing you had to learn [after the presidency] was that you no longer had the sense of responsibility that became ingrained in your system.Collection: Responsibility
The interesting thing about golf is that the presidency requires focus and discipline, and golf requires focus and discipline. It was a way to make sure that parts of my life were focused and disciplined.Collection: Golf

When you're writing about something that happened, it helps you transition to the present.Collection: Writing
When you're writing about something that happened, it helps you transition to the present. Ironically enough, by focusing on your presidency, it helps you realize that you're no longer the president. By reliving moments, it helps you stay focused on the moment.Collection: Writing
