George W. Bush Quotes About Grief

• Even grief recedes with time and grace. But our resolve must not pass. Each of us will remember what happened that day, and to whom it happened. We'll remember the moment the news came -- where we were and what we were doing. Some will remember an image of a fire, or a story of rescue. Some will carry memories of a face and a voice gone forever.

  George W. Bush

  Memories, Grief, Fire

  Address to Joint Session of Congress Following 9/11 Attacks, delivered 20 September 2001

• Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children.

  First Address to the United Nations General Assembly, delivered 10 November 2001, U.N. Headquarters, New York

• Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance and love have no end, and the Lord of life holds all who die and all who mourn.

  George W. Bush

  Forgiveness, Grief, Remembrance

  Remarks at the National Day of Prayer & Remembrance Service, delivered 14 September 2001, Episcopal National Cathedral

• We come before God to pray for the missing and the dead, and for those who loved them... Our purpose as a nation is firm, yet our wounds as a people are recent and unhealed and lead us to pray... This world he created is of moral design. Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance, and love have no end, and the Lord of life holds all who die and all who mourn... Neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities, nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth can separate us from God's love.

  Remarks at the National Day of Prayer & Remembrance Service, delivered 14 September 2001, Episcopal National Cathedral

• We reflect on what has been lost and comfort those enduring a profound grief. And somehow we know that a brighter morning will come.

  George W. Bush

  Morning, Grief, Condolences

• No president ever puts American lives at risk without a terrible sense of responsibility. And no American ever hears or reads of a soldier’s death without saying a silent prayer for the dead hero or thinking of the grief of the family and friends. Every young man or woman who dies represents a life with its own dreams and plans, extinguished so suddenly. But all said and done, it is our responsibility to see that (1) we never put our troops in situations where they are subject to unnecessary risk, and (2) we give them all our support at all times.
