The advance of freedom is the great story of our time

Fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.

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

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended.

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.

Freedom is not our gift to the world it is God's gift to humanity.

To those of you who received honours, awards and distinctions, I say, well done. And to the C students, I say, you too can be president of the United States.

I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States

A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it.

If you want to be happy, you listen to the music; if you want to be sad, you listen to the words.

Independence is of more value than any gifts; and to receive gifts is to lose it.

I always look forward to seeing a man who has more brains than me.

There are so many layers of bullshit and everything sounds the same.

There's a difference between loyal opposition that has a different view, and those who are advocating a defeatist approach that sends the wrong message to our troops and the enemy.

Anyone who is not a liberal in his youth has no heart. Anyone who remains so as he matures has no brain!
