WE MUST ALL HEAR THE UNIVERSAL CALL TO LIKE YOUR NEIGHBOR JUST LIKE YOU LIKE TO BE LIKED YOURSELF.

I HAVE A DIFFERENT VISION OF LEADERSHIP. A LEADERSHIP IS SOMEONE WHO BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.

I MEAN, THERE NEEDS TO BE A WHOLESALE EFFORT AGAINST RACIAL PROFILING, WHICH IS ILLITERATE CHILDREN.

LEADERSHIP TO ME MEANS DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY. IT MEANS CHARACTER, AND IT MEANS LISTENING FROM TIME TO TIME.

IN MY SENTENCES I GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE.

ONE OF THE COMMON DENOMINATORS I HAVE FOUND IS THAT EXPECTATIONS RISE ABOVE THAT WHICH IS EXPECTED.

THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB IS NOT TO BE GOVERNOR, OR FIRST LADY IN MY CASE.

THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THE SYSTEM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE LIKE ME.

WE ARE READY FOR ANY UNFORESEEN EVENT WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN.

THEY WANT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTROLLING SOCIAL SECURITY LIKE IT'S SOME KIND OF FEDERAL PROGRAM.

I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION BECAUSE I, IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, HAD HEARD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT A FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE ERODING THE IMPORTANT BRIDGE BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE.

FOR EVERY FATAL SHOOTING, THERE WERE ROUGHLY THREE NON-FATAL SHOOTINGS. AND, FOLKS, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN AMERICA. IT'S JUST UNACCEPTABLE. AND WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO END THE STALEMATE IN AN EFFICIENT WAY. WE'RE MAKING THE RIGHT DECISIONS TO BRING THE SOLUTION TO AN END.

ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT BOOKS IS SOMETIMES THERE ARE SOME FANTASTIC PICTURES.

I MENTIONED EARLY ON THAT I RECOGNIZE THERE ARE HURDLES, AND WE'RE GOING TO ACHIEVE THOSE HURDLES. [1/22/2003]

PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY VERY WEIRD CAN GET INTO SENSITIVE POSITIONS AND HAVE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON HISTORY.

THE ADMINISTRATION I'LL BRING IS A GROUP OF MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE FOCUSED ON WHAT'S BEST FOR AMERICA, HONEST MEN AND WOMEN, DECENT MEN AND WOMEN, WOMEN WHO WILL SEE SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY AS A GREAT PRIVILEGE AND WHO WILL NOT STAIN THE HOUSE.

IT'S CLEARLY A BUDGET. IT'S GOT A LOT OF NUMBERS IN IT.

I UNDERSTAND SMALL BUSINESS GROWTH. I WAS ONE.

HE CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. HE CAN'T TAKE THE HIGH HORSE AND THEN CLAIM THE LOW ROAD.

RARELY IS THE QUESTION ASKED: IS OUR CHILDREN LEARNING?

WILL THE HIGHWAYS ON THE INTERNET BECOME MORE FEW?

WE CANNOT LET TERRORISTS HOLD THIS NATION HOSTILE OR HOLD OUR ALLIES HOSTILE.

THERE'S AN OLD SAYING IN TENNESSEE -- I KNOW IT'S IN TEXAS, PROBABLY IN TENNESSEE...THAT SAYS, FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON...SHAME ON YOU. FOOL ME...YOU CAN'T GET FOOLED AGAIN. [9/17/2002]

AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, I HAVE SET HIGH STANDARDS FOR OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AND I HAVE MET THOSE STANDARDS.

OUR NATION MUST COME TOGETHER TO UNITE.
