We are about to celebrate another President’s Day weekend, and with good reason: We’ve had some amazing presidents!
Most of these men issued forth a veritable number of memorable quotes. So it is here that I shall honor just a few:
George Washington-Born February 22, 1732-Died December 14, 1799
Actually, this quote was shortened–the full text was: “Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company.”
Thomas Jefferson-1743-1826
“When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry, a hundred.”
Abraham Lincoln – 1809-1865
“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt – 1882-1945 “The only thing to fear is, fear itself.”
Harry S. Truman-1884-1972
“I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.”
John F. Kennedy-1917-1963
Ronald Reagan-1911-2004
“The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.”
Of course, there are the memorable quotes made by others regarding our presidents, such as the one from Ann Richards about George W. Bush:
“Poor George. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth.”
And then, there is the one from William Taft that all authors and writers can take to heart: “Don’t write so that you can be understood, write so that you can’t be misunderstood.” Good one, Bill! Thanks to BrainyQuote.com for all the great photo pins! ©2017 Virginia Williams
