George Washington: “May we always be led by justice and not by mere ambition.”

I have finally determined to accept the commission of Commander in Chief of the armies of the United States.

True patriotism is not just a feeling but a commitment to the well-being of our country.

Do not let anyone claim tribute of American patriotism if they even attempt to remove religion from politics.

Believe me, sir, no one can more cordially approve of the wise and prudent measures of your Administration.
