Associate yourself with Men of good Quality if you Esteem your own Reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad Company.”

George Washington

“Real men despise battle, but will never run from it.”

George Washington

“Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.”

George Washington

“A man ought not to value himself of his achievements or rare qualities of wit, much less of his riches, virtue or kindred.”

George Washington

“Individuals entering into society, must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest.”

George Washington

“A knowledge of books is the basis upon which other knowledge is to be built.”

George Washington

“Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest.”

George Washington

“Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone.”

George Washington

“...overgrown military establishments, which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty.”

George Washington

“I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.”

George Washington

“...do not spare any reasonable expense to come at early and true information; always recollecting, and bearing in mind, that vague and uncertain accounts of things [are]... more disturbing and dangerous than receiving none at all.”

George Washington

“Let your conversation be without malice or envy, for it is a sign of a tractable and commendable nature; and in all cases of passion admit reason to govern.”

George Washington

“Men may speculate as they will; they may talk of patriotism; they may draw a few examples from ancient story, of great achievements performed by its influence; but whoever builds upon it, as a sufficient Basis for conducting a long and bloody War, will find themselves deceived in the end. We must take the passions of Men as Nature has given them, and those principles as a guide which are generally the rule of Action. I do not mean to exclude altogether the Idea of Patriotism. I know it exists, and i know it has done much in the present Contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting War can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of Interest or some reward. For a time, it may, of itself push Men to Action; to bear much, to encounter difficulties; but it will not endure unassisted by Interest.”

George Washington

“I can truly say I had rather be a Mount Vernon than to be attended at the Seat of Government by the Officers of State and the Representatives of every Power in Europe.”

George Washington

“In no instance have . . . the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people. James Madison, U.S. President”
