Famous quotes containing the words george h, bush and/or presidency:

    Life is a businesse, not good cheer;
    Ever in warres.
    The sunne still shineth there or here,
    Whereas the starres
    Watch an advantage to appeare.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Let the others have the charisma. I’ve got the class.
    —George Bush (b. 1924)

    Some of the offers that have come to me would never have come if I had not been President. That means these people are trying to hire not Calvin Coolidge, but a former President of the United States. I can’t make that kind of use of the office.... I can’t do anything that might take away from the Presidency any of its dignity, or any of the faith people have in it.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
