MAKE IT A GREAT DAY: FROZEN & Cinco de Mayo.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY.MAKE IT A GREAT DAY: April & May have switched places.”A politician’s task was to bring reality and policy into the greatest possible account with the ideal and the principled.” “He turned the presidency – and the President’s House – into something it had not been before: a center of curiosity and inquiry, of vibrant institution that played informal but important roles in the broader life of the nation, from science to literature.” Jefferson’s genius was that he was both and could do both, often simultaneously. “Broadly put, philosophers think: politicians maneuver. “Our greatest leaders are neither dreamers nor dictators: They are, like Jefferson, those who articulate national aspirations yet master the mechanics of influence and know when to depart from dogma.” Jon Meacham, Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power “It did not speak well of the power of God, in other words, if He needed a human government to prop him up.”
KENNEDY, at a dinner in honor of all living recipients of the Nobel Prize, 1962. “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” -PRESIDENT JOHN F. There were a number of quotes from the book, both in Jefferson’s and Meacham’s own words, that stood out and I’d like to share them. And, once it arrived, Meacham’s words wielded immense beauty and power much like the man whose story he told. Meacham’s own voiced epilogue were powerful. The people and places were 3-Dimensional, often seeming as though they were seated right next to me discussing the scenes so vividly described by the author. Meacham turned this enormous man’s life into some of the finest storytelling I’ve ever experienced. Much of Jefferson’s life I already knew but Mr. This morning I completed Jon Meacham’s THOMAS JEFFERSON: THE ART OF POWER and I cannot say enough about this book and how much I loved it.
