Little Book of US Presidents

I know that one of my readers is keen to read the review for Little Book of US Presidents*, mainly because she mentioned it to me, even before I received it from Welbeck Publishing. So, I was very curious about the book. After a very busy weekend, I opened the book, filled a glass with wine, and relaxed for quite a while, reading from it. I finished the book in one sitting. It was so interesting, as it contains quotes from the 1st to the 45th president. It was interesting to stop and think of a specific quote and putting it into context.

There are six chapters in the book, ranging from “what you can do for your country” to “big stick diplomacy”. I wanted to share a couple of quotes I’ve enjoyed, but I got 10 by the end of the book. So I had to read them again and share only 5, and here are these 5:

“It is by a thorough knowledge of the whole subject that our fellow-citizens are enabled to judge correctly of the past and to give a proper direction to the future.” – James Monroe – Second Inaugural Address, March 5, 1821

(part of the quote from the book) “Every difference of opinion, is not a difference of principle.” – Thomas Jefferson – First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801

“There is a power in public opinion in this country – and I thank God for it: for it is the most honest and best of all powers – which will not tolerate an incompetent or unworthy man to hold in his weak or wicked hands the lives and fortunes of his fellow-citizens.” – Martin van Burren – Senate Speech on the Judiciary, April 7, 1826

“They know that a government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.” – Gerald Ford – Address to a Joint Session of the Congress, August 12, 1974

“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with conflict by peaceful means.” – Ronald Reagan – Commencement Address, Eureka College, May 9, 1982

There are 170 quotes in total, so make sure you get the book if you want to read all of them. It is a fab little book.
