George Washington
To place any dependence upon militia is assuredly resting upon a broken staff. Men just dragged from the tender scenes of domestic life, unaccustomed to the din of arms, totally unacquainted with every kind of military skill ... makes them timid and ready to fly from their own shadows.
George Washington
Serious misfortunes, originating in misrepresentation, frequently flow and spread before they can be dissipated by truth.
George Washington
