Bill Clinton Quotes
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.
We cannot build our own future without helping others build theirs.
Sometimes I feel like a fire hydrant looking at a pack of dogs.
The purpose of politics is to give people tools to make the most of their lives.
Promising too much can be as cruel as caring too little.
Being president is like running a cemetery: you’ve got a lot of people under you and nobody’s listening.
Strength and wisdom are not opposing values.
A lot of presidential memoirs, they say, are dull and self-serving. I hope mine is interesting and self-serving.
We must teach our children to resolve their conflicts with words, not weapons.
I may not have been the greatest president, but I’ve had the most fun eight years.
Just as war is freedom’s cost, disagreement is freedom’s privilege.
The best social program is a good job.
Pessimism is an excuse for not trying and a guarantee to a personal failure.
Character is a journey, not a destination.
If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.
Success is not the measure of a man but a triumph over those who choose to hold him back.
When our memories outweigh our dreams, we have grown old.
If you want to live like a Republican, vote like a Democrat.
The price of doing the same old thing is far higher than the price of change.
By lifting the weakest, poorest among us, we lift the rest of us as well.
