If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit. |
If you look at what we did in our library -- we reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 34 percent, we reduced our electric bill by 34 percent, with more efficient lighting, more efficient heating, all kinds of conservation measures. We have over 300 solar panels which were made in America. So instead of sending money to Saudi Arabia or someplace else for oil we sent the money to an American manufacturing company to hire Americans to make solar panels. So it is good business. |
if you've ever worked in a White House, you know damn well it's not background noise. It's affecting everything you do as president. |
If, as it now appears, this was an act of terrorism it was a despicable and cowardly act. We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable. If their intention was to deter us from our mission of promoting peace and security in the Middle East, they will fail utterly. |
In 1991, with our leadership, the U.N. Security Council encouraged Iraq to sell oil to pay for these critical humanitarian supplies. Saddam Hussein rejected that offer for four years, choosing instead to let his people suffer. What resources he had went not to caring for his people but to strengthening his army, hiding his weapons of mass destruction and building lavish palaces for his regime. |
In a world darkened by ethnic conflicts that tear nations apart, Canada stands as a model of how people of different cultures can live and work together in peace, prosperity, and mutual respect. |
In China, I think that so far the political system and restraint on political speech in the Internet has not seemed to have any adverse commercial consequences, |
In eight days John Kerry is going to make America the comeback country. |
In our hearts and in our laws, we must treat all our people with fairness and dignity, regardless of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. . . . |
In our interdependent world, we have to suffer the sorrows of each other. |
In our shock and grief one thing must remain clear, hate and prejudice are not American values. The public outrage in Laramie and all across America today echoes what we heard at the White House Conference on Hate Crimes last year -- there is something we can do about this, Congress needs to pass our tough Hate Crimes Legislation. It can do so even before it adjourns and it should do so. |
In the last energy bill they finally gave a 25 percent tax credit for the purchase of new solar equipment and other clean energy equipment. I tried for three years to pass that as president and could not do so. So I am thrilled that it passed. This will mean that a lot of these products are now far more cost effective and will off a lot sooner than they would before. |
In the whole history of this country, we have probably won more friends from the power of our example than from the power of our military. |
In the years ahead, America may have presidents who do this job better than I have, but I really doubt we'll ever have another one who enjoyed it more. |
In view of the American position, I don't see how your prime minister can be anything but really publicly very tough on this. I don't think he's got an option, |
