A. Bush
A. Bush
people ugly unfair
I put confidence in the American people, in their ability to sort through what is fair and what is unfair, what is ugly and what is unugly.
running golf hunting
As for me, tough duty though it may be, I continue to do my part for the commercial recreation industry. Fishing, boating, tennis, golf, running, hunting, and all of this. Horseshoes. It's tough duty. Somebody has to do it, and I'm going to keep on.
History will point out some of the things I did wrong and some of the things I did right.
atheist
Atheists are not Americans.
time butterfly doors
The only time I had any butterflies was when I stood up and backed toward the open door and looked down.
war forgiving criminals
Let's forgive the Nazi war criminals.
life thinking years
I think the major event that shaped my life was being a Naval aviator. I got my commission and wings at 18 years old, and then I went into combat at 19. And I think, as I look back on it, that whole experience probably shaped my life more than any incident, or any event.
anti-semitism
I hope I stand for antibigotry, anti-Semitism, antiracism. This is what drives me.
proud odessa texan
At Odessa we became Texans, and proud of it.
thinking games work-out
American business can out-think, out-work, out-perform any nation in the world. But we can't beat the competition if we don't get in the ball game.
friendship thinking years
It's family, and it's faith, and it's friends, and it's not the glamour of the Presidency, or the wonder of going to receive the Nobel Prize. All those are important, of course. But maybe it's just that I'm 71 years old now. It's family, and it's faith, and it's friends. I would tell them that. Don't forget that. In your brilliance, don't turn your back on your friends. Don't think you're entitled to something, you're smarter than the next guy.
air environmental world
Every American expects and deserves clean air, and then we act on that belief, then we will set an example for the rest of the world to follow.
taken fog doors
A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken. There are times when the future seems thick as a fog; you sit and wait, hoping the mists will lift and reveal the right path. But this is a time when the future seems a door you can walk right through into a room called tomorrow.
attitude men soul
A President is neither prince nor pope, and I don't seek a window on men's souls. In fact, I yearn for a greater tolerance, an easy-goingness about each other's attitudes and way of life.
