Presidential Wit and Wisdom: Maxims Mottoes Sound Bites Speeches Asides Memorable Quotesfrom America's Presi

This book is one of my favorites to thumb through from time to time. The book is organized with one chapter for each president and begins with one to two pages of biography and historical context, then moves on to some of the most profound and most ridiculous words to fall from the lips of men. I enjoy the quick synopsis of each presidency, and take a lesson that quotes can inspire and inflame. This book gives the reader a good sketch of each of our presidents, expressed in their own words. I hope the authors continue to update this volume as new presidents pass into history and as old ones are revisited.
