“Happiness depends more upon the internal frame of a person’s own mind, than on the externals in the world.”

“Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of Action; and bidding an Affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long acted, I here offer my Commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life.

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

“System to all things is the soul of business. To execute properly and act maturely is the way to conduct it to your advantage.”

George Washington

“Some day, following the example of the United States of America, there will be a United States of Europe.”

George Washington

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

George Washington

“Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.”

George Washington

“LIBERTY, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.”

George Washington

“...if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.”

George Washington

“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few; and let those be well-tried before you give them your confidence.”

George Washington

“The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government.”

George Washington

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

George Washington

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