George Washington
True friendship is a plant of slow growth.

George Washington
Freemasonry is an institution founded on eternal reason and truth whose deep basis is the civilization of mankind, and whose everlasting glory it is to have the immovable support of those two mighty pillars, science and morality.
George Washington
The Stamp Act imposed on the colonies by the Parliament of Great Britain is an ill-judged measure. Parliament has no right to put its hands into our pockets without our consent.
George Washington

George Washington
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
