"Happy Elected Presidents' Day!"


In honor of the men who have been elected to serve as this country's president
throughout the course of its history, I offer a small sampling of quotes:

As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who
conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the
protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost
nations of justice and liberality.
--George Washington

Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay;
and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time.
--Abraham Lincoln

The hopes of the Republic cannot forever tolerate either undeserved poverty or
self-serving wealth.
--Franklin Delano Roosevelt

We need not fear the expression of ideas—we do need to fear their suppression.
--Harry S. Truman

War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an
evil, never a good. We will not learn to live together in peace by killing each other's
children.
--Jimmy Carter

Yes, we have to care for the security of our nation. This means, among other things, of
course that we have to fight terrorists. But we also have to build a world with more
partners and fewer terrorists. Of course we have to stand against weapons of mass
destruction -- but if we can, we have to do it in the context of building the international
institutions that in the end we will have to depend upon to guarantee the peace and
security of the world and the human rights of all people everywhere.
--Bill Clinton

If what America represents to the world is leadership in a commonwealth of equals,
then our friends are legions. If what we represent to the world is an empire, then it is
our enemies who will be legion.
--Al Gore
