"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

2000s, 2006
2010s, 2017, Speech at "Spirit of Liberty: At Home, In the World" event (2017)
Kontext: Our identity as a nation – unlike many other nations – is not determined by geography or ethnicity, by soil or blood. Being an American involves the embrace of high ideals and civic responsibility. We become the heirs of Thomas Jefferson by accepting the ideal of human dignity found in the Declaration of Independence. We become the heirs of James Madison by understanding the genius and values of the U. S. Constitution. We become the heirs of Martin Luther King Jr. by recognizing one another not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. This means people of every race, ethnicity and religion can be fully and equally American. It means that bigotry or white supremacy in any form is blasphemy against the American creed. It means the very identity of our nation depends on the passing of civic ideals to the next generation.

Bush concluded his address with these lines, paraphrasing a quotation by John Page he had used earlier within it: We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?. Page himself, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson (20 July 1776), was quoting a phrase from Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to the intelligent, nor yet favour to men of knowledge; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
