Presidents' quotes on Presidents' Day

Some of my favorites:

Andrew Jackson
“Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error”

Millard Fillmore
“It is not strange … to mistake change for progress.”

Abraham Lincoln
“Things may come to those who wait…but only the things left by those who hustle.”

Grover Cleveland
“A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.”

Benjamin Harrison
“I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process.”

William Howard Taft
“The world is not going to be saved by legislation.”

Richard Nixon
“A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.”

Gerald Ford
“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”


Those last three rock.

The best part is that Nixon, iirc, is the only president to have resigned from office. :D

Crap, the link won't load for me now.

It was something along the lines of "It's hardest to think in stressful times, but that's when it's needed most" ... something like that.  Something he didn't do

Quote from: Bill Clinton
Sometimes when people are under stress, they hate to think, and it’s the time when they most need to think.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...
