President's Day is celebrated on the third Monday in February, and this year it falls on February 19, 2006. To celebrate President's Day, I've collected some of my favorite leadership quotes from US Presidents.
The leaders of this country have had some extraordinary obstacles to overcome and they've had to rise to meet many challenges. They have left little bits of wisdom along the way I hope you'll find interesting.

Happy President's Day!
