George Washington
The crisis is arrived when we must assert our rights, or submit to every imposition, that can be heaped upon us, till custom and use shall make us as tame and abject slaves, as the blacks we rule over with such arbitrary sway.
George Washington

George Washington
Every post is honourable in which a man can serve his country.
George Washington
