Science Quotes by George Herbert Walker Bush (1 quote)
Over the years, many Americans have made sacrifices in order to promote freedom and human rights around the globe: the heroic actions of our veterans, the lifesaving work of our scientists and physicians, and generosity of countless individuals who voluntarily give of their time, talents, and energy to help others—all have enriched humankind and affirmed the importance of our Judeo-Christian heritage in shaping our government and values.
— George Herbert Walker Bush

Tuesday, November Third = Many Voted, Bush Retired
[The date of the election of Bill Clinton over incumbent George H.W. Bush.]
From 'The Anagram Hall of Fame' on the wordsmith.org website.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
