Motivation Mondays: 45 Inspiring Quotes from U.S. Presidents #PresidentsDay

Happy Presidents’ Day!  The office of the President of the United States of America (POTUS) is a very powerful position globally.  As leader of the most powerful, and, some might add, only remaining superpower, the authority invested in the position requires wisdom and a measured tone.  If you are wondering about the origins of this special federal holiday and why it is called Presidents Day, I’m here to help you with a brief history. First of all, it was a special day to honor the birthday of our first president –  George Washington  Over time, it evolved to become a celebration in honor of  two of America’s greatest Presidents; George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  In 1968,  the 90th Congress voted to shift three federal holidays, including George Washington’s Birthday to the 3rd Monday of February. This move led to the creation of  a new holiday – Presidents’ Day.  There was resistance and many objections were raised but eventually it became law in 1971. The correct way to write it is Presidents’ Day NOT President’s Day because we honor more than one former leader of these United States on this special day. Got it?

1. George Washington (1789–1797)
“Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.”
2. John Adams (1797–1801)
“Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.”
3. Thomas Jefferson (1801–1809)
“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
4. James Madison (1809–1817)
“The circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money.”
5. James Monroe (1817–1825)
“A little flattery will support a man through great fatigue.”
6. John Quincy Adams (1825–1829)
“Gratitude, warm, sincere, intense, when it takes possession of the bosom, fills the soul to overflowing and scarce leaves room for any other sentiment or thought.”
7. Andrew Jackson (1829–1837)
“Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.”
8. Martin Van Buren (1837–1841)
“Those who have wrought great changes in the world never succeeded by gaining over chiefs; but always by exciting the multitude. The first is the resource of intrigue and produces only secondary results, the second is the resort of genius and transforms the universe.”
9. William Henry Harrison (1841)
“I contend that the strongest of all governments is that which is most free.”
10. John Tyler (1841–1845)
“The applause of his native land is the richest reward to which the patriot ever aspires. It is this for which ‘he bears to live or dares to die.’ It is the high incentive to those achievements which illustrate the page of history and give to poetry its brightest charm.”
11. James K. Polk (1845–1849)
“No president who performs his duties faithfully and conscientiously can have any leisure.”
12. Zachary Taylor (1849–1850)
“Never judge a stranger by his clothes.”

Motivation Mondays: 45 Inspiring Quotes from U.S. Presidents

Every year, I think of a way to honor the leaders of this nation and to help readers learn a bit more about their legacy. This year, for my post on the great leaders, I curated 45 quotes to represent our 45 Presidents to date. Whether we choose to celebrate it or not, we can learn something from the wisdom shared in the quotes. I’ve included at least one inspiring quote from all 45 presidents of the USA; check them out above and below. I’ve included links to their Wiki pages and also the length of time they served in the presidency. Please read them and let me know which one is your favorite from the bunch. I have a few that I love too but, I’d wait to hear your response.

13. Millard Fillmore (1850–1853)
“Nations, like individuals in a state of nature, are equal and independent, possessing certain rights and owing certain duties to each other.”
14. Franklin Pierce (1853–1857)
“While men inhabiting different parts of this vast continent cannot be expected to hold the same opinions, they can unite in a common objective and sustain common principles.”
15. James Buchanan (1857–1861)
“What is right and what is practicable are two different things.”
16. Abraham Lincoln (1861–1865)
“Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”
17. Andrew Johnson (1865–1869)

18. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant (1869–1877)

“Conscience is the authentic voice of God to you.”
20. James A. Garfield (1881)
“If wrinkles must be written on our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.”
21. Chester A. Arthur (1881–1885)
“Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.”
22. Grover Cleveland (1885–1889)
A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.”
23. Benjamin Harrison (1889–1893)
“The bud of victory is always in the truth.”
24. Grover Cleveland (1893–1897)
“Unswerving loyalty to duty, constant devotion to truth, and a clear conscience will overcome every discouragement and surely lead the way to usefulness and high achievement.”

Motivation Mondays: 45 Inspiring Quotes from U.S. Presidents. #PresidentsDay

As I put together material for this post, I was reminded again how each president contributed his part to sustain this democratic nation. I also marvel at the fact that we have not had a female president in this nation. I pray to see us elect one in my lifetime. I believe we are all capable of serving and giving our best when called up to the task. We must first believe we are worthy of the office,  and then take the action to help us prepare, campaign and then lead.

25. William McKinley (1897–1901)
That’s all a man can hope for during his lifetime – to set an example – and when he is dead, to be an inspiration for history.”
26. Theodore Roosevelt(1901–1909)
“Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.”
27. William Howard Taft (1909–1913)
“Don’t write so that you can be understood, write so that you can’t be misunderstood.”
28. Woodrow Wilson (1913–1921)
“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”
29. Warren G. Harding (1921–1923)
“There’s good in everybody. Boost. Don’t knock.”
30. Calvin Coolidge (1923–1929)
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”
31. Herbert Hoover (1929–1933)
“Freedom is the open window through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and human dignity.”
32. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933–1945)
“There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.”
33. Harry S. Truman (1945–1953)
“A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.”
34. Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953–1961)
“Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.”
35. John F. Kennedy (1961–1963)
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
36. Lyndon B. Johnson (1963–1969)
“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.”

Motivation Mondays: 45 Inspiring Quotes from U.S. Presidents. #PresidentsDay

 

What are your thoughts on the Presidency? Did you find a quote that resonated with you and your beliefs about the office? I chose this quote as one that I believe all leaders around the globe must have front and center during their tenure in office: “Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.” by President Andrew Jackson.  To lead, it is imperative that we admit when we are in error.  No leader is above error.  I hope you enjoyed the selection of quotes from our past and present leaders of the highest office in the USA. Now let me ask you a few questions: Who was the oldest President in office? Who was the youngest? Which Presidents served more than one term in office? Leave your comments in the box and I’ll respond with an update. Thank you!

37. Richard M. Nixon (1969-1974)
“Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.”
38. Gerald R. Ford (1974–1977)
“History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times, but out of trial and confusion.”
39. Jimmy Carter (1977–1981)
“We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.”
40. Ronald Reagan (1981–1989)
“There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.”
41. George H.W. Bush (1989–1993)
“We are a nation of communities… a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.”
42. Bill Clinton (1993–2001)
“If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.”
43. George W. Bush (2001–2009)
“Faith crosses every border and touches every heart in every nation.”
44. Barack Obama (2009–2017)
“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”
45. Donald Trump (2017–present)
“Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that’s more productive.”

    Having said that, there is also no point in deliberating too long, think then act as you find fit.

    I think the one that speaks to me personally is:

    7. Andrew Jackson (1829–1837)
    “Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.”

    I feel I could use this advice. I am always overthinking and then find myself with missed opportunities. Take a chance 🙂

    These quotes were really interesting to read. I didn’t realise there was such thing as President’s Day, probably as I’m from the UK.

    The quote by Zachary Taylor resonated with me the most – “Never judge a stranger by his clothes”. Nowadays, people are quick to judge and stereotype. Sometimes we do it unconsciously and group certain people. When I used to work as a flight attendant, we “profile” passengers based on how they talk, how they move, how they dress, and how they behave. There’s a thin line between profiling and judging or stereotyping. We can anticipate who will drink a lot, or who can assist us in time of emergency, or who will complain a lot. We already knew which flight is peaceful, and which one can be demanding. A thin line that can easily be crossed. That’s why that quote reminds us to be humble and always treat each other with respect.

    I totally agree with Andrew Jackson. It is very important that when both think and act on things. We can’t just keep analyzing stuff but instead we think about it then later do something about it.

    Not being from your country but your neighbor from the north we learn some on your history and the accomplishments of your leaders. Washington and Lincoln are a couple of my favourite, they deserve the recognition.

    Thomas Jefferson could not be more right, ““Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” It all boils down with attitude!

    “A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.” this is by far my favorite. Nice collection, thank you for sharing!

    It’s good to fall back to these quotes, they were made by powerful people who lead their country during some hard times, and we need to remember not one of them got where he was overnight, it was a long journey filled with sacrifice.

    My all time favorite US President would be Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan. However, if I were to pick one favorite quote it will be – “Never judge a stranger by his clothes.” This is applicable in many walks of life. One should not undermine nor be biased because a person’s appearance is not really the true test of character.

    What a great list you have here! We can all use a little motivation once in a while. I really liked 26. Theodore Roosevelt(1901–1909)
    “Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.”
    Passion is a driving force, when you really care about something, it shows.
