                          PRESIDENT'S CORNER

   Dear friends,

   I'm writing this column on Monday, February 19 -- Presidents'
   Day in the United States.

   It seems an appropriate time to share with you some
   interesting and provocative quotes from past U.S. presidents.

   These aren't the "greatest" quotes, or the most
   representative quotes, or even my favorites. But I find them
   individually interesting and collectively fascinating. I hope
   you will too.

   So now I turn this "President's Corner" over to... some other
   presidents.

   "The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign
   nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to have
   with them as little political connection as possible." --
   George Washington.

   "I have no fear but that the result of our experiment will be
   that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a
   master." -- Thomas Jefferson

   "I must study politics and war, that my sons may have the
   liberty to study mathematics and philosophy, geography,
   natural history, and naval architecture, navigation,
   commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a
   right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture,
   statuary, tapestry and porcelain." -- John Adams

   "I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the
   freedom of the people by the gradual and silent encroachments
   of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations."
   -- James Madison

   "Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and
   you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is
   never lost." -- John Quincy Adams

   "No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of
   expediency." -- Theodore Roosevelt

   "Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my
   administration has been minding my own business." -- Calvin
   Coolidge

   "For three long years I have been going up and down this
   country preaching that government... costs too much. I shall
   not stop that preaching." -- Franklin D. Roosevelt
   (acceptance speech, July 2, 1932)

   "I got very well acquainted with Joe Stalin, and I like old
   Joe! He is a decent fellow." -- Harry S. Truman

   "When the president does it, that means it's not illegal." --
   Richard M. Nixon

   "Fifty years ago, when I was born... it was unimaginable that
   someone like me could have ever become President of the
   greatest country in human history." -- William Jefferson
   Clinton
