“Although I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either.”
Jesse Owens
“By designating the day as Presidents Day, as opposed to separate birthday celebrations, it is too easy to associate the day with a current president. When part of the citizen body is disgruntled with a current president, many reject the day out of disapproval of the administration then in the White House.”
Buddy Howell
“I'll tell you what, ... there's no controlling moral authority in the White House. That's what the fact of the matter is, because ... these guys have been around for a long time. Al Gore grew up in this town. ... Bill Clinton is a little newer to this town. But Al Gore clearly knew what the law was. And what they both did was they went right up to the line.”
Dan Quayle
“There is a time to compromise, ... and there is a time to stand firm. Now, I know that it was a grand photo opportunity at the White House, but I am afraid that the taxpayer once again got the shaft.”
“The status quo of a country will be sound when its people believe that the end result of hypocrisy is more disastrous than that of true justice for all.”
Bobby W. Miller
“I'm not comparing Bush to Adolf Hitler - because George Bush, for one thing, is not as smart as Adolf Hitler.”
David Clennon
“A leader may symbolize and express what is best in people, like Pericles, or what is worst, like Hitler, but he cannot successfully express what is only in his heart and not in theirs”
