George Bush (b. 1924), U.S. Republican politician, president. Republican National Convention, New Orleans, August 18, 1988. acceptance speech, New York Times (Aug. 19, 1988).
In her memoirs, What I Saw at the Revolution (1990), speechwriter Peggy Noonan suggests that Bush added the word “gentler” to her original draft. Charlie Chaplin had used a similar form of words at the end of The Great Dictator (1940), when he urged, “More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.”
