"Every single day I was honored to be your president by bringing honor and dignity to the office," said Bush. "It's so simple in life to chase popularity, but popularity is fleeting. It's not real."

As reported in the Star-Telegram, the former president also spoke about his faith, promising everyone in the audience that those people who prayed for him and his wife while they lived in the Oval Office made the first couple's lives better.

"From a personal perspective, I don't see how you can be president without relying upon an Almighty," Bush said.

Other speakers included former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who reportedly praised President Bush's policies on terrorism and foreign policy. "We are safer than we were before 9/11 because of President Bush," Powell said to applause.

According to the report, at the end of his speech, Bush received a standing ovation.
