Presidential Wit and Wisdom: Maxims, Mottoes, Sound Bites, Speeches, and Asides : Memorable Quotes from America's Presidents Book

From the eloquent ("It is error alone which needs the support of the government. Truth can stand by itself."--Thomas Jefferson) to the wise ("Whenever I see anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."--Abraham Lincoln) to the absurd ("Trees cause more pollution than automobiles."--Ronald Reagan), this collection of quotations is a thoroughly entertaining investigation of the character (and characters) behind all 42 U.S. presidents. Culled from speeches, journals, essays, and off-the-cuff remarks, these quotes deal with life, other politicians, major events of the day, personal philosophies, and the presidency itself. Chronologically assembled and prefaced by a brief biographical profile of each president, Presidential Wit and Wisdom contains hundreds of memorable lines.Read More
