James A. Garfield
 20th president of US 1881

| “ | A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck.
| ” |
| “ | Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.
| ” |
| “ | History is philosophy teaching by example, and also warning; its two eyes are geography and chronology. | ” |
| “ | Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
July 12, 1880 | ” |
