“It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.”

George Washington

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

George Washington

“It is a much easier and less distressing thing to draw remonstrances in a comfortable room by a good fireside than to occupy a cold bleak hill and sleep under frost and snow without cloaths or blankets.”

George Washington

“Speak not evil of the absent, for it is unjust.”

George Washington

“A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.”

George Washington

“For myself the delay may be compared with a reprieve; for in confidence I assure you, with the world it would obtain little credit that my movements to the chair of Government will be accompanied by feelings not unlike those of a culprit who is going to the place of his execution: so unwilling am I, in the evening of a life nearly consumed in public cares, to quit a peaceful abode for an Ocean of difficulties, without that competency of political skill, abilities and inclination which is necessary to manage the helm.”

George Washington

“Man is the religious animal. He is the only religious animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion –- several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat, if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven."

George Washington

“If the cause is advanced, indifferent is it to me where or in what quarter it happens.”

George Washington

“Gentlemen, you will permit me to put on my spectacles, for, I have grown not only gray, but almost blind in the service of my country.

George Washington

“We must consult our means rather than our wishes.”

George Washington

“It is absolutely necessary... for me to have persons that can think for me, as well as execute orders.”

George Washington

“Men may speculate as they will; they may talk of patriotism; they may draw a few examples from ancient story, of great achievements performed by its influence; but whoever builds upon it, as a sufficient Basis for conducting a long and bloody War, will find themselves deceived in the end. We must take the passions of Men as Nature has given them, and those principles as a guide which are generally the rule of Action. I do not mean to exclude altogether the Idea of Patriotism. I know it exists, and i know it has done much in the present Contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting War can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of Interest or some reward. For a time, it may, of itself push Men to Action; to bear much, to encounter difficulties; but it will not endure unassisted by Interest.”

George Washington

“Those who have committed no faults want no pardon. We are only defending what we deem our indisputable rights.”

George Washington

“Pierce was the first President to “affirm” rather than “swear” his oath. He was also the first to have memorized his inaugural speech.”

George Washington

“A man ought not to value himself of his achievements or rare qualities of wit, much less of his riches, virtue or kindred.”
