destiny
You and I have a rendevous with destiny.
cancer two white
Since I came to the White House, I got two hearing aids, a colon operation, skin cancer, a prostate operation, and I was shot. The damn thing is, I've never felt better in my life.
heart understanding might
In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater awareness of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are affected by it.
strong moral human-nature
Only our deep moral values and our strong social institutions can hold back that jungle and restrain the darker impulses of human nature.
men years land
If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.
thinking gun gun-control
Well, I think there has to be some (gun) control.
taken thinking gun
I think maybe there could be some restrictions that there had to be a certain amount of training taken.
responsibility gun common-sense
With the right to bear arms comes a great responsibility to use caution and common sense on handgun purchases.
country communication years
The years ahead will be great ones for our country, for the cause of freedom and the spread of civilization. The West will not contain Communism, it will transcend Communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we'll dismiss it as a sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are even now being written.
education children new-beginnings
Together, let us make this a new beginning. Let us make a commitment to care for the needy, to teach our children the values and the virtues handed down to us by our families, to have the courage to defend those values and the willingess to sacrifice for them. Let us pledge to restore, in our time, the American spirit of voluntary service, of cooperation, of private and community initiative, a spirit that flows like a deep and mighty river through the history of our nation.
funny knowledge years
I have flown twice over Mount St. Helens out on our West Coast. I'm not a scientist and I don't know the figures, but I have a suspicion that that one little mountain has probably released more sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere of the world than has been released in the last ten years of automobile driving or things of that kind that people are so concerned about.
bird house environmental
Environmental extremists ... wouldn't let you build a house unless it looked like a bird's nest.
mean thinking common-sense
I think, too, that we've got to recognize that where the preservation of a natural resource like the redwoods is concerned, that there is a common sense limit. I mean, if you've looked at a hundred thousand acres or so of trees-you know, a tree is a tree, how many more do you need to look at? Opposing expansion of Redwood National Park.
reflection liberty citizens
A state is nothing more than a reflection of its citizens; the more decent the citizens, the more decent the state.
