More quotes by George Washington
The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism . . .
George Washington
Influence is not government.
George Washington
We had quitters during the Revolution too...we called them 'Kentuckians.'
George Washington
To anticipate and prevent disasterous contingencies would be the part of wisdom and patriotism.
George Washington
Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause: And I was not without hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy of ⟨the present⟩ age would have put an effectual stop to contentions of this Kind.
George Washington
Without a decisive naval force we can do nothing definitive.
George Washington
I have never been a communicant.
George Washington
While I reiterate the professions of my dependence upon Heaven... I will observe that... no man who is profligate in his morals... can possibly be a true Christian.
George Washington
I am once more seated under my own vine and fig tree ... and hope to spend the remainder of my days in peaceful retirement, making political pursuits yield to the more rational amusement of cultivating the earth.
George Washington
Every day the increasing weight of years admonishes me more and more, that the shade of retirement is as necessary to me as it will be welcome.
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
I am principled against selling negroes, as you would do cattle at a market.
George Washington
A people contending for life and liberty are seldom disposed to look with a favorable eye upon either men or measures whose passions, interests or consequences will clash with those inestimable objects.
George Washington
The Independence and Liberty you possess are the work of joint councils and joint efforts, of common dangers, sufferings and successes.
George Washington
I never mean, unless some particular circumstances should compel it, to possess another slave by purchase, it being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted, by which slavery in this country may be abolished by law.
George Washington
The tumultuous populace of large cities are ever to be dreaded. Their indiscriminate violence prostrates for the time all public authority, and its consequences are sometimes extensive and terrible.
George Washington
When once the woman has tempted us, and we have tasted the forbidden fruit, there is no such thing as checking our appetites, whatever the consequences may be.
George Washington
Real men despise battle, but will never run from it.
George Washington
To expect ... the same service from raw and undisciplined recruits, as from veteran soldiers, is to expect what never did and perhaps never will happen. Men, who are familiarized to danger, meet it without shrinking whereas troops unused to service often apprehend danger where no danger is.
George Washington
I am again called upon by the voice of my country to execute the functions of its Chief Magistrate.
George Washington
