Presidents: “He means well”

Benjamin Franklin wrote these famous words about John Adams in 1783:

He means well for his country, is always an honest man, often a wise man, but sometimes and in some things, absolutely out of his senses.

    That’s why I love American history! The people are far more rich and interesting than most of ours. A collection of quotes from great Canadians would include things like “Hey Doug, that’s a fur you’ve trapped.”
