More from George Washington
It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.
Nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated.
A strong nation is built on the foundation of unity and common purpose.
