Top 10 J.B. West Quotes (2025 Update)

J.B. West Quote: “And each of them has performed a great public service to the people of America, filling a role that is nonappointive, nonelective, certainly nonpaid, the most demanding volunteer job in America.”
J.B. West Quote: “I believe that every woman over fifty should stay in bed until noon,” she said, quite seriously.”
J.B. West Quote: “When a butler or doorman or usher would enter the room, the Trumans would introduce him to whoever happened to be sitting in the room, even if it were a King or a Prime Minister. They introduced all the staff to their visitors – something I’d never seen the Roosevelts do.”
J.B. West Quote: “My loyalty was not to any one President, but rather, to the Presidency, and to the institution that is the White House.”
J.B. West Quote: “Now I know why they say Lincoln’s ghost walks around up here at night,” President Truman chuckled. “He’s just looking for his bed.”
J.B. West Quote: “I believe there is a point at which efficiency is best served,” he told me. “After you spend a certain number of hours at work, you pass your peak of efficiency. I function best in my office when I relax in the evenings.”
J.B. West Quote: “The next evening, Fields, his pride hurt, dumped two big splashes of bourbon over the ice and served it to Mrs. Truman. She tasted the drink. Then she beamed. “Now that’s the way we like our old-fashioneds!”
J.B. West Quote: “You can’t be mentally fit unless you’re physically fit.”
J.B. West Quote: “The Trumans usually celebrated Thanksgiving in the White House, but they spent most Christmases in Independence, quietly, with their families. And every year they instructed the kitchen help to prepare two full Christmas meals to go to two needy families in the District of Columbia – and to tell nobody.”
J.B. West Quote: “She simply set firm rules for her private life and never deviated from them. The full impact of Bess Truman’s contribution to the history of America, and, indeed, of the world, will probably never be measured. Only she can supply the details, and I’m sure that she won’t. Her keen intelligence, calm reasoning, and unswerving devotion to her husband were rarely revealed to the public.”
J.B. West Quote: “As First Ladies of the land, these women filled the most demanding volunteer job in America. They were not elected, they were legally responsible to no one except the man with whom they had exchanged marriage vows. They had no official title. First Lady was a term popularized by a newswoman many years ago, but it has remained the only designation given to the woman who is married to the man we call “Mr. President.”
J.B. West Quote: “The Trumans did not reserve fancy entertaining only for the great or near-great. They catered also to their old friends, who had never had an appointment with destiny.”
