Three day weekends are wonderful! More time for us to spend with our family and friends, complete home projects, or maybe just have an extra day to rest. On Presidents’ Day, sometimes the aforementioned items take precedence over celebrating George Washington’s birthday, recognizing all U.S. Presidents, and reflecting on the insurance lessons we have learned from these individuals. Okay, maybe most U.S. Presidents have not officially held insurance licenses, attended an insurance conference, or hosted an insurance-related webinar, but there have been some memorable presidential quotes that can be applied to the insurance profession.
