More quotes by Warren G. Harding

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
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
The success of our popular government rests wholly upon the correct interpretation of the deliberate, intelligent, dependable popular will of America.
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
Less government in business and more business in government.
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
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 knew that this job would be too much for me.
Warren G. Harding
