Presidents Day

Today is a fun day. I spent a few minutes looking for quotes of Presidents with February birthdays. Four Presidents were born in February: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, William Henry Harrison and Ronald Reagan.

William Henry Harrison died only 31 days after taking the oath of office. There are not many quotes attributed to him.

Take a moment to read some thought provoking quotes from the other three Presidents.
