Sky Quotes
We were trying to get all of the planes down out of the sky. And we watched as the towers of the World Trade Center collapsed - something no one expected and anticipated.

Thinking Quotes
I worked for George Bush. I'm proud to have worked for him.

Views Quotes
My own personal view is that people ought to have the right to enter into any kind of relationship they want to enter into.

Character Quotes
We still have, I think, a society where we haven't done enough yet to live up to that standard that we'd all like to live up to, I think, in terms of equality of opportunity, that we judge people as individuals. As Martin Luther King said, we ought to judge people on the content of their character instead of the color of their skin. I would hope that we can continue to make progress in that regard in the years ahead.

Addressing Quotes

These days of transition are of great importance, ...
