One thing I have learned about the presidency is that whatever shortcomings you have, people are going to notice them -- and whatever strengths you have, you're going to need them.
Quote 1813by Anonymous on 16/01/2011
There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom.
Quote 1901by Anonymous on 19/01/2011

Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called 'walking.'
Quote 2739by Anonymous on 03/02/2011
When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.
Quote 3130by Anonymous on 03/02/2011
By our efforts, we have lit a fire as well--a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world.
Quote 3150by Anonymous on 03/02/2011
Freedom is not America's gift to the world, it is the Almighty God's gift to every man and woman in this world.
Quote 3295by Anonymous on 05/02/2011
America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people.
Quote 3948by Anonymous on 12/02/2011
Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.
Quote 4364by Anonymous on 20/02/2011
The battle is now joined on many fronts. We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter; and we will not fail.
Quote 4901by Anonymous on 04/05/2011
Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.
Quote 5198by Anonymous on 04/06/2011
As Americans, we want peace -- we work and sacrifice for peace. But there can be no peace if our security depends on the will and whims of a ruthless and aggressive dictator. I'm not willing to stake one American life on trusting Saddam Hussein.
Quote 5241by Anonymous on 06/06/2011
By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.
Quote 5778by Anonymous on 27/08/2011
They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program.
Quote 6582by Anonymous on 30/09/2011
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.
Quote 6804by Anonymous on 09/10/2011
Whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done.
Quote 6826by Anonymous on 10/10/2011
Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world; it is God's gift to humanity.
Quote 6833by Anonymous on 10/10/2011
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.
Quote 7410by Anonymous on 11/11/2011
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.
Quote 7452by Anonymous on 15/11/2011
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.
Quote 7521by Anonymous on 12/12/2011
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.
Quote 7544by Anonymous on 18/12/2011
The case for trade is not just monetary, but moral. Economic freedom creates habits of liberty. And habits of liberty create expectations of democracy.
Quote 9569by Anonymous on 04/08/2012
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.
Quote 10375by Anonymous on 29/09/2012
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.
Quote 10399by Anonymous on 01/10/2012
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.
Quote 10524by Anonymous on 10/10/2012
The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war.
Quote 10749by Anonymous on 25/10/2012
The advance of liberty is the path to both a safer and better world.
Quote 10862by Anonymous on 04/11/2012
If America shows weakness and uncertainty, the world will drift toward tragedy. That will not happen on my watch.
Quote 12668by Anonymous on 08/05/2013
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.
Quote 12673by Anonymous on 09/05/2013
We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.
Quote 13221by Anonymous on 29/06/2013
History is moving, and it will tend toward hope, or tend toward tragedy.
