More quotes by George Washington
It is to be lamented that great characters are seldom without a blot.
George Washington
We are persuaded that good Christians will always be good citizens, and that where righteousness prevails among individuals the Nation will be great and happy. Thus while just government protects all in their religious rights, true religion affords to government it's surest support.
George Washington
I rejoice that liberty . . . now finds an asylum in the bosom of a regularly organized government a government, which, being formed to secure happiness of the French people, corresponds with the ardent wishes of my heart, while it gratifies the pride of every citizen of the United States, by its resemblance to their own.
George Washington
Let us therefore rely on the goodness of the cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble actions.
George Washington
A natural parent has only two things principally to consider, the improvement of his son, and the finances to do it with.
George Washington
I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.
George Washington
Let me ... warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party.
George Washington
The signal instances of Providential goodness which we have experienced and which have now almost crowned our labors with complete success demand from us in a peculiar manner the warmest returns of gratitude and piety to the Supreme Author of all good.
George Washington
We ought to deprecate the hazard attending ardent and susceptible minds, from being too strongly, and too early prepossessed in favor of other political systems, before they are capable of appreciating their own.
George Washington
It is absolutely necessary... for me to have persons that can think for me, as well as execute orders.
George Washington
Precedents are dangerous things let the reins of government then be braced and held with a steady hand, and every violation of the Constitution be reprehended: If defective let it be amended, but not suffered to be trampled upon whilst it has an existence.
George Washington
Smaller societies must prepare the way for greater.
George Washington
If you can't sent money, send tobacco.
George Washington
Where is the man to be found who wishes to remain indebted for the defense of his own person and property to the exertions, the bravery, and the blood of others, without making one generous effort to repay the debt of honor and gratitude?
George Washington
I can never think of promoting my convenience at the expense of a friend's interest and inclination.
George Washington
True friendship is a plant of slow growth.
George Washington
Refrain from drink which is the source of all evil-and the ruin of half the workmen in this Country.
George Washington
No taxes can be devised which are not more or less inconvenient and unpleasant.
George Washington
We must consult our means rather than our wishes.
George Washington
No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America. Wondrously strange, then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to so plainly I cannot believe it will ever come to pass.
George Washington
