Best American Presidents Quotes By William J. Clinton

I did attempt to find out if there were any secret government documents that revealed things. If there were, they were concealed from me too.

But there may be some career person sitting around somewhere, hiding these dark secrets, even from elected presidents. But if so, they successfully eluded me ... and I'm almost embarrassed to tell you I did (chuckling) try to find out. — William J. Clinton

I think it's very important, and I think that what young people will learn from my experience is that even presidents have to do that and there are consequences when you don't.

Clinton

Best American Presidents Quotes By Milton Friedman

And what does reward virtue? You think the communist commissar rewards virtue? You think a Hitler rewards virtue? You think, excuse me, if you'll pardon me, American presidents reward virtue?

Best American Presidents Quotes By Fredrik Logevall

Successful American presidents project a populist image. They do not place themselves above their compatriots but strive whenever possible to show qualities typical of "average" Americans.

To be likable, smiling, and unpretentious is all-important, to express the values of middle America an essential prerequisite for greatness. — Fredrik Logevall

Best American Presidents Quotes By Helen Thomas

George W. Bush is the worst President
in all of American history. — Helen Thomas

Best American Presidents Quotes By John Hopkins

On a far-flung parcel of government land situated somewhere in the vast reaches of parched American western desert sits an abandoned and long forgotten government facility known as Lost Cactus.

Best American Presidents Quotes By Theodore Roosevelt

I believe that this Republic will endure for many centuries. If so there will doubtless be among its Presidents Protestants and Catholics, and very probably at some time, Jews.

Had I followed any other course I should have felt that I was unfit to represent the American people. — Theodore Roosevelt
