In honor of President’s day here are quotes from twelve of our esteemed leaders:

-John Adams

-William J. Clinton
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
-Thomas Jefferson
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
-John F. Kennedy
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
-Abraham Lincoln

-James Madison
Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
-Ronald Reagan
But while they prate of economic laws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
-Theodore Roosevelt
The buck stops here!
-Harry S. Truman
Worry is the interest paid by those who borrow trouble.
-George Washington
