George Washington actually said...

"The hour is fast approaching, on which the honor and success of this army and the safety of our bleeding country depend. Remember officers and soldiers that you are free men, fighting for the blessing..."

"It is infinitely better to have a few good men than many indifferent ones."

"The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves."

"Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages."
