— George H. W. Bush

More quotes by George H. W. Bush

Think about every problem, every challenge, we face. The solution to each starts with education.

"Your men are under a different command now, one that knows no rank, only love; knows no danger, only peace, May God bless them all.

This will not stand, this aggression against Kuwait.

Tonight, as I see the drama of democracy unfolding around the globe, perhaps—perhaps we are closer to that new world than ever before.

To all who mourn a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a friend — I can only offer you the gratitude of a nation, for your loved one served his country with distinction and honor."
