George Washington
Image
No man has a more perfect reliance on the alwise and powerful dispensations of the Supreme Being than I have, nor thinks His aid more necessary.

George Washington
Image
Liberty is indeed little less than a name, where the Government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction, to confine each member of society within the limits prescribed by the law, and to maintain all in the secure and tranquil enjoyme
George Washington
Image
It is an old adage that honesty is the best policy-this applies to public as well as private life-to States as well as individuals.
George Washington
Image
A people unused to restraint must be led, they will not be drove.
George Washington
Image
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
Image
The due administration of justice is the firmest pillar of good government, I have considered the first arrangement of the judicial department as essential to the happiness of the country, and to the stability of its political system.
George Washington
Image
I dare say the men would fight very well if properly officered, although they are an exceedingly dirty and nasty people.
George Washington
Image
To please everybody is impossible were I to undertake it, I should probably please nobody.
George Washington
Image
Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence . . . the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake.
George Washington
Image
I was no party man myself, and the first wish of my heart was, if parties did exist, to reconcile them.
