More quotes by George Washington
Diffidence in an officer is a good mark because he will always endeavor to bring himself up to what he conceives to be the full line of his duty.
George Washington

George Washington
The common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
George Washington
The consciousness of having discharged that duty which we owe to our country is superior to all other considerations.
George Washington
The inducements of interest for observing [neutral] conduct . . . has been to endeavour to gain time to our country to settle and mature its yet recent institutions, and to progress without interruption, to that degree of strength and consistency, which is necessary to give it, humanly speaking, the command of its own fortunes.
George Washington
A half-starved limping government, always moving upon crutches and tottering at every step.
George Washington
I shall never ask, never refuse, nor ever resign an office.
George Washington
A lottery is the perfect tax...laid only upon the willing.
George Washington
Nothing short of self-respect and that justice which is essential to a national character ought to involve us in war.
George Washington
