15 MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES FROM 15 US PRESIDENTS

Today is Presidents Day, a day we set aside to honor all United States presidents that have served our country. From the founders of our great nation, like George Washington and John Adams, to the men who lost their lives serving our country, like Abraham Lincoln and JFK. From the founders of our great nation, like George Washington and John Adams, to the men who lost their lives serving our country, like Lincoln and JFK, each president made their mark on our country’s history. Throughout their terms, many of these leaders shared numerous pieces of wisdom with the American people.

Here are some presidential quotes I found inspiring when applied to personal life and the workplace:
