Happy President's Day
On this Presidents' Day, we share six quotes from great men who led us through challenging times.
We selected these quotes because they remind us that leadership, at its very best, isn’t about power or winning, it’s about character. It’s about the daily choice to lead with integrity and to care for those who have little.
As citizens living in a fractured nation, we can all pursue the goal of justice for all, even the ideal life for all, by holding ourselves and our leaders accountable to the rule of law.
From George Washington:
“I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles—the character of an honest man.”
From Abraham Lincoln:
“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.”
From Franklin D. Roosevelt:
“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.”
From Theodore Roosevelt:
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”
From Harry S. Truman:
“In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves.”
From Dwight D. Eisenhower:
“The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity.”
