Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Would you like to narrow that down JUST a little!?
I would be here all night and I have to get up and teach tomorrow!.

Each President had a different "slogan" like "I LIke Ike", "Nixons The One" or his earlier "Re-Elect the President!." These were for the campaigns!.
The one fellow gave you a terrific list of things they said while in Office, but they're a bit lengthy!.
I think I'd go with ones like Walk Softly and Carry a Big Stick, The Buck Stops Here (Truman), I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN!, I AM NOT A CROOK!.!.!.
Did you know that "Ich bin ein Berliner" really meant I am not a donut!? He got it mixed up - which is very easy to do in German!.
Patrick Henry and Custer weren't Presidents although I agree that some people should be kicked in the nose!.!.!.

I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country!. Nathan Hale

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country!. - JFK

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance!. - FDR, inaugural address

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America!. - U!.S!. Constitution

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal!.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure!. We are met on a great battle-field of that war!. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live!. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this!.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground!. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract!. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here!. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced!. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth!. - Gettysburg Address

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex!. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist!. - Eisenhower, Farewell AddressWww@QuestionHome@Com
