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

George Washington

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

George Washington

“Much was to be done by prudence, much by conciliation, much by firmness.”

George Washington

“No morn has ever dawned more favourably than ours did; and no day was ever more clouded than the present. Wisdom and good examples are necessary at this time to rescue the political machine from the impending storm.”

George Washington

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

George Washington

“no punishment, in my opinion, is to great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin”

George Washington

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

George Washington

“There is nothing which can better deserve our patronage than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.”

George Washington

“A sensible woman can never be happy with a fool.”

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 was born a heretic. I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. Susan B. Anthony, U.S. reformer and suffragist”

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 few be well tried before you give them your confidence.”

George Washington

“Religious controversies are always productive of more acrimony and irreconcilable hatreds than those which spring from any other cause. I had hoped that liberal and enlightened thought would have reconciled the Christians so that their religious fights would not endanger the peace of Society.”

George Washington

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