More quotes by George Washington
Observe good faith and justice towards all Nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it?
George Washington
We must consult our means rather than our wishes.
George Washington
The value of liberty was thus enhanced in our estimation by the difficulty of its attainment, and the worth of characters appreciated by the trial of adversity.
George Washington
A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite.

George Washington
Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue?
George Washington
[T]he foundation of a great Empire is laid, and I please myself with a persuasion, that Providence will not leave its work imperfect.
George Washington
Republicanism is not the phantom of a deluded imagination. On the contrary, laws, under no form of government, are better supported, liberty and property better secured, or happiness more effectually dispensed to mankind.
George Washington
A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils
George Washington
Rise early, that by habit it may become familiar, agreeable, healthy, and profitable.
George Washington
No pecuniary consideration is more urgent, than the regular redemption and discharge of the public debt: on none can delay be more injurious, or an economy of time more valuable.
George Washington
Human rights can only be assured among a virtuous people. The general government . . . can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, an oligarchy, an aristocracy, or any despotic or oppresive form so long as there is any virtue in the body of the people.
George Washington
Freemasonry is founded on the immutable laws of Truth and Justice and its grand object is to promote the happiness of the human race.
