Warren G. Harding
I knew that this job would be too much for me.
Warren G. Harding
We must proceed with a full realization that no statute enacted by man can repeal the inexorable laws of nature.
Warren G. Harding
The black man should seek to be, and he should be encouraged to be, the best possible black man and not the best possible imitation of a white man.
Warren G. Harding
Actually, we're just glorified flagpole sitters.
Warren G. Harding
The president is the cuticle of the nail bed of America: one would think pushing back makes him stronger, yet it turns out the opposite is true.
Warren G. Harding
Every student has the ability to be a successful learner.
Warren G. Harding
It is my conviction that the fundamental trouble with the people of the United States is that they have gotten too far away from Almighty God.
Warren G. Harding
I do recall that El Cap seemed to be in much better condition than I was.
Warren G. Harding
America's present need is not heroics but healing not nostrums but normalcy not revolution but restoration.
