INSPIRING WORDS FROM AMERICAN PRESIDENTS WE CAN ALL LIVE BY
The holiday we now know as "President's Day" was originally established in 1885 to honor George Washington's birthday. However, at the time, it was not called "President's Day." The name gained popularity after the holiday was moved under the 1971 Uniform Monday Holiday Act, whose goal was to provide more three-day weekends for American workers. Retailers also played a role in popularizing the term by using it to promote sales. Today, President's Day is widely recognized as a celebration of the birthdays and legacies of all U.S. Presidents.
Whether you’re enjoying the Presidents Day holiday with family, taking advantage of sales, or simply reflecting on history, take a moment to appreciate the impact of our nation’s leaders. Their challenges, triumphs, and words can continue to inspire us today and in the future.
When we reflect on our Presidents, many notable figures and famous quotes come to mind. While some Presidential quotes are widely recognized, others are lesser known, yet they still offer inspiration—not just on President’s Day, but throughout the year.
