George Washington Quotes

Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.

The foolish and wicked practice of profane

cursing and swearing is a vice so mean

and low that every person of sense

and character detests and despises it.

Associate with men of good quality

if you esteem your own reputation;

for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

We should not look back unless

it is to derive useful lessons from past errors,

and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.

To be prepared for war is

one of the most effective means of preserving peace.

The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.

It is better to be alone than in bad company.

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

Labor to keep alive in your breast

that little spark of celestial fire,

called conscience.

Observe good faith and justice toward all nations.

Cultivate peace and harmony with all.

Discipline is the soul of an army.

It makes small numbers formidable;

procures success to the weak,

and esteem to all.

Truth will ultimately prevail where

there is pains to bring it to light.

Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.

It is far better to be alone,

than to be in bad company.

If the freedom of speech is taken

away then dumb and silent we may be led,

like sheep to the slaughter.
