President’s Day Love

On this day of reverence for all of the American presidents, I’d like to paste a few well known quotes from some of our presidents

– — – — –

George Washington
“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

John Adams
“The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.”

Thomas Jefferson
“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.”

George Bush Jr.
“There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you.
Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
