Great words from American presidents:

[RHMerriman]

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. - George Washington

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. - Abraham Lincoln

In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins. - U.S. Grant

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists. - Franklin Roosevelt

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. - Dwight Eisenhower

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. - John F. Kennedy

and then we get:

“Oh my God, this is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I’m fucked.” - Donald J. Trump
