4.0 out of 5 stars
Great survey of Presidential thought and quotes.,
By
This review is from: Wit and Wisdom of the American Presidents: A Book of Quotations (Dover Thrift Editions,) (Paperback)
This is a fun little quote book that is priced right. It has, in chronological order, quotes from all of the presidents under the Constitution up to Clinton. This is rather a singular book, considering the scope of what the editor has done. Some presidents, such as Lincoln, Kennedy, or Reagan who have been blesses with blarney and gab, have great humorous quotes. Some presidents have a more philosophical bent, such as Jefferson and Madison, so a quote book does not do them justice. Others, such as Grant or Silent Cal Coolidge, are taciturn, so you need to track quotes down with a magnifying glass and metal detector.This book has ample quotes from all of the then-42 presidents, and is great for people who like quote books, public speakers, politicians, or people looking for bullet-thoughts that hit the target.

This review is from: Wit and Wisdom of the American Presidents: A Book of Quotations (Dover Thrift Editions,) (Paperback)
"Wit and Wisdom of the American Presidents" is an outstanding collection of sayings of the Presidents through the ages and is excellent for public speakers and writers who quote the writings of famous people to establish their points.

This review is from: Wit and Wisdom of the American Presidents: A Book of Quotations (Dover Thrift Editions,) (Paperback)
We bought this little book to send to an out-of-town friend who expressed admiration for quotations from it which we post on an internet social networking site. The Presidential quotations cover many subjects and are for the most part still appropriate for current political events. We recommend this little book as a valuable addition to the reference section of any library.
