“The common and continual mischief's [sic] of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and the duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passion.”

George Washington

“It is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government.”

George Washington

“Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough.”

George Washington

“It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.”

George Washington

“It is a much easier and less distressing thing to draw remonstrances in a comfortable room by a good fireside than to occupy a cold bleak hill and sleep under frost and snow without cloaths or blankets.”

George Washington

“I conceive a knowledge of books is the basis upon which other knowledge is to be built.”

George Washington

“the harder the conflict, the greater the triumph.”

George Washington

“It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.”

George Washington

“Decision making, like coffee, needs a cooling process.”

George Washington

“89th: Speak not evil of the absent, for it is unjust.”

George Washington

“This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it. John Adams, U.S. President”

George Washington

“But lest some unlucky event should happen unfavorable to my reputation, I beg it may be remembered by every gentleman in the room that I this day declare with the utmost sincerity, I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with.”

George Washington

“One of the expedients of party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts.”

George Washington

“Do not suffer your good nature [...] to say yes when you ought to say no; remember that it is a public not a private cause that is to be injured or benefitted by your choice”

George Washington

“It is better to be alone than in bad company.”
