George Washington
Our conflict is not likely to cease so soon as every good man would wish. The measure of iniquity is not yet filled and unless we can return a little more to first principles, and act a little more upon patriotic ground, I do not know when it will.
George Washington
My own remedy is always to eat, just before I step into bed, a hot roasted onion, if I have a cold.
