Let vice and immorality of every kind be discouraged as much as possible in your brigade and, as a chaplain is allowed to each regiment, see that the men regularly attend during worship.

George Washington
Image
To anticipate and prevent disasterous contingencies would be the part of wisdom and patriotism.
George Washington
Image
Though, when a people shall have become incapable of governing themselves and fit for a master, it is of little consequence from what quarter he comes.
George Washington

George Washington
Image
This tribe of black gentry work more effectually against us, than the enemy's arms. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties, and the great cause we are engaged in. It is much to be lamented that each State, long ere this, has not hunted them down as pests to society, and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America.
George Washington
Image
Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that thou wilt keep the United States in thy holy protection.
