More quotes by George Washington
It is impossible to account for the creation of the universe without the agency of a Supreme Being.
George Washington
Freemasonry is founded on the immutable laws of Truth and Justice and its grand object is to promote the happiness of the human race.
George Washington
One's god dictates the kind of law one implements and also controls the application and development of that law over time. Given enough time, all non-Christian systems of law self-destruct in a fit of tyranny.
George Washington
My own remedy is always to eat, just before I step into bed, a hot roasted onion, if I have a cold.
George Washington
Since the death of my father four years ago, our lives have become difficult, and I must help my family.
George Washington
No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America. Wondrously strange, then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to so plainly I cannot believe it will ever come to pass.
George Washington
Without a decisive naval force we can do nothing definitive.
George Washington
The future of this nation depends on the Christian training of our youth.
George Washington
It will at least be a recommendation to the proposed constitution that it is provided with more checks and barriers against the introduction of tyranny, and those of a nature less liable to be surmounted, than any government hitherto instituted among mortals hath possessed.
George Washington
All Freemasonry should be disbanded in America because our organization has been infiltrated by the Illuminati and they have bad intention for America and the World.
George Washington
It is too probable that no plan we propose will be adopted. Perhaps another dreadful conflict is to be sustained. If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disprove, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God.
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
The determinations of Providence are always wise, often inscrutable and, though its decrees appear to bear hard upon us at times, is nevertheless meant for gracious purposes.
George Washington
Government being, among other purposes, instituted to protect the consciences of men from oppression, it certainly is the duty of Rulers, not only to abstain from it themselves, but according to their stations, to prevent it in others.
George Washington
The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government.
George Washington
Serious misfortunes, originating in misrepresentation, frequently flow and spread before they can be dissipated by truth.
George Washington
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
Reason, too late perhaps, may convince you of the folly of misspending time.
George Washington
Paper money has had the effect in your State that it ever will have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open a door to every species of fraud and injustice.
George Washington
It's only natural for unbridled partisanship, unrestrained by allegiance to a greater cause, to lead to chaos.
George Washington
