George Washington
To form a new Government, requires infinite care, and unbounded attention for if the foundation is badly laid the superstructure must be bad.
George Washington
You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are. Congress will do every thing they can to assist you in this wise intention.
George Washington
