In preparation for President’s Day (Monday, February 15), we’d like to know your favorite presidential quote(s). The ones you find most inspirational or most helpful.
We shared a few in A Tip from the President…got any more from Lincoln or Presidents of the United States or other countries?
Be sure to tell us the quote AND the person who said it AND the country if not the United States.
