George Washington: “To be effective in any government, the leader must be guided by principles of honesty and integrity.”

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

I must not conceal from you my earnest wish that the choice had fallen upon a man less declined in years and better qualified to encounter the usual vicissitudes of war.

It is with peculiar satisfaction I can say, that prompted by a high sense of duty in my attendance on public worship, I have been gratified by the liberal and interesting discourses delivered in your Churches.

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