Notable, Quotable Presidents

Some nice quotes here from a few of our Presidents. A few that I like;

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
--Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to (Col.) William F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864, five months before his assasination

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."--Abraham Lincoln

"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."
--Ronald Reagan, March 2, 1977

"The best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation."
--James E. Carter

"We Americans have no commission from God to police the world."
--Benjamin Harrison

"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
--George Washington, Treaty of Tripoli, 1796

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
--Harry S. Truman

"I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves."
--George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 21, 2003

Ok, so which one of the above, just seems horribly out of place, hmm?
