Famous quotes containing the words adams and/or presidency:

    The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    I once told Nixon that the Presidency is like being a jackass caught in a hail storm. You’ve got to just stand there and take it.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
