George W. Bush Quotes

Equality and self-determination should never be divided in the name of religious or ideological fervor.

Whether we come from poverty or wealth; whether we are Afro-American or Irish-American; Christian or Jewish, from big cities or small towns, we are all equal in the eyes of God. But as Americans, that is not enough, we must be equal in the eyes of each other. We can no longer judge each other on the basis of what we are, but must, instead, start finding out who we are. In America, our origins matter less than our destinations and that is what democracy is all about.

We should honor - not attack - those who have stood up for equality and other cherished American values.

We must keep fighting until using the word 'equality' isn't necessary because we will all be living as one.

All Americans are taught, and hopefully believe, in the idea that we are all created equal and should be treated that way.

Our country's history is a generation-spanning journey to effectuate the notion that 'all men are created equal' for the members of our ever-expanding national family: women, African-Americans, Latinos, Asians, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, gays and lesbians, the disabled, immigrants, and refugees.

We must never remain silent in the face of bigotry. We must condemn those who seek to divide us. In all quarters and at all times, we must teach tolerance and denounce racism, anti-Semitism and all ethnic or religious bigotry wherever they exist as unacceptable evils. We have no place for haters in America -- none, whatsoever.

The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and respectable Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations And Religions; whom we shall wellcome to a participation of all our rights and previleges...

We have a lot more work to do in our common struggle against bigotry and discrimination. I say "common struggle" because I believe very strongly that all forms of bigotry and discrimination are equally wrong and should be opposed by right-thinking Americans everywhere. Freedom from discrimination based on sexual orientation is surely a fundamental human right in any great democracy, as much as freedom from racial, religious, gender, or ethnic discrimination.

To be free you must afford freedom to your neighbor, regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin, and that sometimes, for some, is very difficult.

No discrimination, that's what we're about as a country.

Civil rights for all Americans, black, white, red, yellow, the rich, poor, young, old, gay, straight, et cetera, is not a liberal or a conservative value. It's an American value that I would think that we pretty much all agree on.

This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are.

Barack and I see a future... where no one, no one is forced to live in the shadows of intolerance.

I believe in, and will to the best of my ability fight for, equal rights and freedom of opinion for everyone, regardless of colour, religion, nationality, orientation - you know the rest.

I joined the Labour party because I believed in equality, in freedom of speech and in tolerance, compassion and understanding for people, irrespective of their background and views. In whatever I decide to do in the future I will hold to those principles.

I just believe in equality for all.

I have always striven to raise the voice of hope for a world where hate gives way to respect and oppression to liberation.

Too small is our world to allow discrimination, bigotry and intolerance to thrive in any corner of it, let alone in the United States of America.

There is nothing in the genius of America more precious today than the spirit of religious and political tolerance in its application to our own people.

If you're black, if you're gay, if you're Latin - we're all the same. We're all the same, and we all want the same: We want to be happy.

The new republic should be based on diversity, respect and equal rights for all.

I believe all men, all women, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic background, you deserve the same rights.

We are all human beings and I believe that we all should have equal rights.

What this denomination stands for is, really, is the universal vision of all people being treated fairly under the law as God sees us in His sight.
