re: Quotable Quotes

When Michelle put up her post soliciting great quotes, Keryn and I both thought of the same thing. James Taranto, of the Wall Street Journal editorial page, likes to rib Democrats with his "Great Orators of the Democratic Party" item in his column Best of the Web Today. Here is a sample:

Great Orators of the Democratic Party

• "One man with courage makes a majority."--Andrew Jackson
  
  
• "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."--Franklin D. Roosevelt
  
  
• "The buck stops here."--Harry S. Truman
  
  
• "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."--John F. Kennedy
  
  
• "It is long past time to change course in Iraq and start to end the president's open-ended commitment."--Harry Reid
