“If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure.”
“I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.”
“The future will be better tomorrow.”
“We’re going to have the best educated American people in the world.”
“I stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.”
“We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.”
“Public speaking is very easy.”
“A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.”
“We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.”
“For NASA, space is still a high priority.”
“Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children.”
“It isn’t pollution that’s harming the environment. It’s the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.”

We’re so doggone proud …
