"I'll say that the world is more peaceful and more free under my leadership, and America is more secure." - Rose Garden News Conference 28 October 2003. Elizabeth Bumiller, The New York Times 2 November 2003 http://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/02/weekinreview/page-two-oct-26-nov-1-the-world-is-more-free-and-more-peaceful.html
George W. Bush auf Bill Clintons Aussage, wonach ständig unterschätzt zu werden das beste sei, was einem widerfahren könne, wenn man politisch tätig ist. Podiumsdiskussion Juli 2017.
("The best thing that can happen to you when you're into politics is to be consistently underestimated." - "I was pretty good at that." -
Bush greift lediglich einen schon mehr als 100 Jahre umlaufenden Gedanken auf, der die Selbsteinschätzung auf der Grundlage der eigenen motives/intentions/ideals der Beurteilung anderer nach deren actions/doings/conduct/behavior gegenüberstellt, vgl. http://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/03/19/judge-others/. Johan Galtung äußerte am 4. Juni 2009 in einem Vortrag vor der Europäischen Kommission: "We tend to judge ourselves by our best intentions [...] and adversaries by their worst behavior [...]."
Original: (en) Too often we judge other groups by their worst examples, while judging ourselves by our best intentions

Quotation is from the October 3, 2000 Presidential debate with Al Gore, but is taken out of context. Bush was paraphrasing Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkopf:
The other day, I was honored to be flanked by Colin Powell and General Norman Schwarzkopf, who stood by my side and agreed with me. They said we could, even though we're the strongest military, that if we don't do something quickly, we don't have a clearer vision of the military, if we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road. And I'm going to prevent that. I'm going to rebuild our military power. It's one of the major priorities of my administration. http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/debates/transcripts/u221003.html
