George Washington
If we are wise, let us prepare for the worst.

George Washington
Why should I expect to be exempt from censure the unfailing lot of an elevated station? My Heart tells me it has been my unremitted aim to do the best circumstances would permit yet, I may have been very often mistaken in my judgment of the means.
George Washington

George Washington
[T]here is no truth more thoroughly established, than that there exists . . . an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness.
George Washington
Be Americans. Let there be no sectionalism, no North, South, East or West. You are all dependent on one another and should be one in union. In one word, be a nation. Be Americans, and be true to yourselves.
George Washington
