George Washington: “To be a successful leader, one must earn the trust and respect of those who are led.”

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

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.

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

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.
