Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.
George Washington
No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America.

George Washington

George Washington
Indians and wolves are both beasts of prey, tho' they differ in shape.
George Washington
Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
George Washington
Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue?
George Washington
Bless my family, kindred, friends and country, be our God and guide this day and forever for His sake, who lay down in the grave and arose again for us, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
George Washington
Freedom and Property Rights are inseparable. You can't have one without the other.
George Washington
The business being thus closed . . . dined together and took a cordial leave of each other After which I returned to my lodgings, did some business with and received the papers from the secretary of the Convention, and retired to meditate on the momentous work which had been executed.
George Washington
I have the consolation to believe, that, while choice and prudence invite me to quit the political scene, patriotism does not forbid it.
George Washington
The consideration that human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected will always continue to prompt me to promote the former by inculcating the practice of the latter.
George Washington
There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet the enemy.
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
