Some President's Day quotes

“You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man’s initiative and independence.” – Abraham Lincoln

“True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.” – George Washington

“I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an “Honest Man”.” – George Washington

“This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.” Franklin D. Roosevelt

“I want the people of America to be able to work less for the government and more for themselves. I want them to have the rewards of their own industry. This is the chief meaning of freedom. Until we can re-establish a condition under which the earnings of the people can be kept by the people, we are bound to suffer a very severe and distinct curtailment of our liberty.” –President Calvin Coolidge

"You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred." Abraham Lincoln

"You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves." Abraham Lincoln
