More quotes by George Washington
It is to be lamented that great characters are seldom without a blot.
George Washington
If ever again our nation stumbles upon unfunded paper, it shall surely be like death to our body politic. This country will crash.
George Washington
There is a Destiny which has the control of our actions, not to be resisted by the strongest efforts of Human Nature.
George Washington
I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations, in examples of justice and liberality.
George Washington
Interwoven is the love of liberty with every ligament of the heart.
George Washington
Why should I expect to be exempt from censure the unfailing lot of an elevated station? My Heart tells me it has been my unremitted aim to do the best circumstances would permit yet, I may have been very often mistaken in my judgment of the means.
George Washington
Have the strength to be an honest person.
George Washington
To please everybody is impossible were I to undertake it, I should probably please nobody.
George Washington
Citizens by birth or choice of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.
George Washington
I never have to grope for methods. The method is revealed at the moment I am inspired to create something new. Without God to draw aside the curtain I would be helpless.
George Washington
All see, and most admire, the glare which hovers round the external trappings of elevated office. To me there is nothing in it, beyond the lustre which may be reflected from its connection with a power of promoting human felicity.
George Washington
While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.
George Washington
Real men despise battle, but will never run from it.
George Washington
No man has a more perfect reliance on the alwise and powerful dispensations of the Supreme Being than I have, nor thinks His aid more necessary.
George Washington
Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world that a Freeman, contending for liberty on his own ground, is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.
George Washington
As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.
George Washington
All Freemasonry should be disbanded in America because our organization has been infiltrated by the Illuminati and they have bad intention for America and the World.
George Washington
In the composition of the human frame there is a good deal of inflammable matter, however dormant it may lie for a time.
George Washington
I wish from my soul that the legislature of this State could see the policy of a gradual Abolition of Slavery.
George Washington
Even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror.
George Washington
