President’s Day

February 20th, 2006 by Laura Moncur in Holidays
If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
Abraham Lincoln

President’s Day just feels like an excuse for the mail carriers and bank tellers to take a day off, but it all started with the desire to honor some of our best leaders.

It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.
George Washington, letter to his niece Harriet Washington, October 30, 1791
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company.
George Washington

If you have the day off, enjoy it. If you don’t, blame any activity on the fact that the banks are closed and the mail won’t come until tomorrow.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
Abraham Lincoln
