About this ebook
This book is a collection of 180 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of George Washington:
“I have no other view than to promote the public good, and am unambitious of honors not founded in the approbation of my Country.”
“A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite.”
“A government is like fire, a handy servant, but a dangerous master.”
“A people... who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything.”
“A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.”
“A variety in punishment is of utility, as well as a proportion.”
“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake.”
