More quotes by 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
The success of our popular government rests wholly upon the correct interpretation of the deliberate, intelligent, dependable popular will of America.
Warren G. Harding
In the experiences of a year of the Presidency, there has come to me no other such unwelcome impression as the manifest religious intolerance which exists among many of our citizens. I hold it to be a menace to the very liberties we boast and cherish.
Warren G. Harding
I don't know much about Americanism, but it's a damn good word with which to carry an election.
Warren G. Harding
Treat your friend as if he will one day be your enemy, and your enemy as if he will one day be your friend
Warren G. Harding
There is something inherently wrong, something out of accord with the ideals of representative democracy, when one portion of our citizenship turns its activities to private gain amid defensive war while another is fighting, sacrificing, or dying for national preservation.
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.
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
My once-keen analytical mind has become so dulled by endless hours of baking in the hot sun, thrashing about in tight chimneys, pulling at impossibly heavy loads, freezing my ass off.... so that now my mental state is comparable to that of a Peruvian Indian, well stoked on coca leaves.
Warren G. Harding
I couldn't catch a ball or any of that stuff. I could do only what required brute stupidity.
Warren G. Harding
He liked to play chess and do intelligent things, and I was a serious drinker and nonthinker.
Warren G. Harding
Ambition is a commendable attribute, without which no man succeeds. Only inconsiderate ambition imperils.
Warren G. Harding
I hurt with the insatiate longing, until I feel that there will never be any relief until I take a long, deep, wild draught on your lips.
Warren G. Harding
I am not fit for this office and should never have been here.
Warren G. Harding
Every student has the ability to be a successful learner.
Warren G. Harding
That's good. Go on, read some more.
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
I don't know what to do or where to turn in this taxation matter. Somewhere there must be a book that tells all about it, where I could go to straighten it out in my mind. But I don't know where the book is, and maybe I couldn't read it if I found it.
Warren G. Harding
I expect it is very possible that I would make as good a President as a great many men who are talked of for that position.
Warren G. Harding
