Warren G. Harding Quotes
Our most dangerous tendency is to expect too much of government, and at the same time do for it too little.
I am not fit for this office and should never have been here.
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.
The success of our popular government rests wholly upon the correct interpretation of the deliberate, intelligent, dependable popular will of America.
America’s present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration.
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.
The only thing I really worry about is that I am sometimes very afraid I am going to be nominated and elected. That’s an awful thing to contemplate.
When elected, I will immediately summon the best minds in America because it is the only lawful and appropriate course that a President should take.
I think it’s an inspiration to patriotic devotion to safeguard America first, to stabilize America first, to prosper America first, to think of America first, to exalt America first, to live for and revere America first.
I am for co-operation among nations. America must take her part in the world’s affairs. But we hold there is no need of an American surrender of sovereignty to play a righteous nation’s part.
I have no trouble with my enemies. I can take care of my enemies all right. But my friends…they’re the ones who keep me walking the floor nights!
The black man should seek to be, and should be encouraged to be, the best possible black man and not the best possible imitation of a white man.
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.

President Hiram Johnson? - “Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” II Timothy 1:9 KJV President Hiram Johnson? He got in a hurry to be President and he missed his chance. Our Bible character also predetermined what was the proper path for him to be on to be successful. How good are we at trying to listen to God's instructions?

Warren G Harding – Normalcy - "The second woe is past; and, behold the third woe cometh quickly.” Revelation 11:14 KJV "America’s present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy...."

List: What similiar trait do I have with Presidents Harding to LBJ - Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and LBJ. These are the twenty-ninth through thirty-sixth Presidents. This is a list of how I think I am like them. 
Warren G Harding – The Tea Pot Dome Scandal - “He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.” John 5:11 KJV He didn’t really appreciate my humor. The formation had a strange shape to it. Work is one of those four letter words we sometimes just don’t want to hear. 
Harding’s Death and Coolidge’s Swearing In - “The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.” Psalm 74:16 KJV After getting ready, I left the house and I closed the door, just like any other day. No, it was far from just another day. 
Warren G Harding – Newspaper Publisher - “O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.” Psalms 47:1 KJV As the new entry into the world gets tossed from arm to arm, the eyes of those holding this gift are opened to the vast potential before them.

William Henry Harrison – The Curse of Tecumseh - “And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.” 2 Samuel 6:3 KJV It’s probably not politically correct to even talk about Indians this way today, but it kept us busy for hours. Tecumseh was a Shawnee Indian warrior. Tenskwatawa, the Prophet, was his younger brother. How it really happens or if it really happened at all is often suspect. 
Warren G Harding – Prohibition and Good Times in the White House - “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:21 KJV Many have dreamed of becoming President. Few have realized those dreams. I’m sure many of the victors have crossed that White House threshold in the amazement of the treasure they have just received by becoming its resident. He probably was no different.
