To honor Presidents’ Day, I am offering a few quotations from presidents that can be applied to writing as well as life.
“It is hard to fail but is worse to have not tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort.”
Theodore Roosevelt
“Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.”
John F. Kennedy
“I cannot live without books.”
Thomas Jefferson
Great idea for a post. Thanks, Charles.

Perhaps one could exist without books, but I don’t know that I would truly call it living!
Perhaps next year some First Lady quotes, Eleanor Roosevelt was a master!

Overcoming (failure) seems to be a theme today. Excellent, inspiring quotes, Charles.
