Knowing the Presidents
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master."
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
"The wisdom of man never yet contrived a system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality."
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."
"But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever."
"If men were angels, no government would be necessary."
"The best form of government is that which is most likely to prevent the greatest sum of evil."
"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
