Let me ask you, sir, when is the time for brave men to exert themselves in the cause of liberty and their country, if this is not?
George Washington
Image
The great Searcher of human hearts is my witness, that I have no wish, which aspires beyond the humble and happy lot of living and dying a private citizen on my own farm.
George Washington
Image
Great people are not affected by each puff of wind that blows ill. Like great ships, they sail serenely on, in a calm sea or a great tempest.
