Advancing the Principles That Shaped a Presidency

President George W. BushDuring the first eight years of the 21st century, America was tested time and again—at home and abroad.

President Bush responded to those challenges on the basis of core principles he has held throughout his years of public service, and that have guided America since her founding:

  • Freedom is universal
  • All life is precious
  • To whom much is given, much is required
  • Results matter

These principles profoundly influenced President Bush’s decisions that:

  • Rallied America in the aftermath of the most devastating attack on our country since Pearl Harbor
  • Liberated millions of people around the world from tyranny and oppressive regimes
  • Inspired new generations of students to reach for higher educational achievements
  • Launched health initiatives in Africa that saved millions of lives
  • Championed faith-based partnerships to give hope by addressing poverty and crime

The same principles guided the First Lady’s leadership of efforts to improve the lives of millions by:

  • Speaking out for freedom of women and children around the world
  • Advocating democracy
  • Promoting human rights
  • Championing education and literacy
  • Combating poverty and disease
