Words of Inspiration and Motivation


Picture of Bill Clinton being sworn in as President
Quote of President William Clinton

The 42 President of the United States, stated, "In all the work I have done as president, every decision I have made, every executive action I have taken, every bill I have proposed and signed, I've tried to give all Americans the tools and conditions to build the future of our dreams, in a good society, with a strong economy, a cleaner environment, and a freer, safer, more prosperous world.
I have steered my course by our enduring values. Opportunity for all. Responsibility from all. A community of all Americans. I have sought to give America a new kind of government, smaller, more modern, more effective, full of ideas and policies appropriate to this new time, always putting people first, always focusing on the future...
I'm very grateful to be able to turn over the reins of leadership to a new president, with America in such a strong position to meet the challenges of the future." (Was Bill Clinton a good president?, 2001)

  1. I like the quote you posted for Sylvia Chard. Kids always like to ask questions, wonder about things, and like to investigate. Kids are like sponges, they soak up everything around them.

  2. Lola this quote from Bill Clinton is one that I feel is extremely important. “It is very important that we get right back to business and fulfill our responsibility to give our children a world-class education.”
