I believe the great strength of our country lies not in our halls of government, but in the hearts and souls of the American people. It's a million acts of kindness and compassion on a daily basis that define the true spirit and the true strength of America. We live in a blessed land. It's a society which says, you've got to love your neighbor just like you love yourself. That's the spirit of America that I know."
--George W. Bush

http://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/?id=73"One of the reasons I first ran for office was I was concerned about a culture which said, 'If it feels good, do it.' The second half of that is, if you've got a problem, blame somebody else. And my wish for the country is that we usher in a period of personal responsibility. That means if you're a mother or a father, your most important job is to love your children with all your heart and all your soul. That's really what a period of personal responsibility means; we all rededicate ourselves to the parenting, if we're fortunate enough to have a child. Or it means that you'll love a neighbor like you'd like to be loved yourself."

For over two decades, our hemisphere has been fertile ground for freedom. So many men and women have left the shadow of oppression and fear. This is not the time to grow timid or weary. Freedom is still our best weapon against tyranny and want. In so many places in this hemisphere liberty has been won. Now the blessings of liberty must be extended to every life."
--George W. Bush
