George Washington: “The power of the government comes from the consent of the governed.”

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

A good government must be founded on the principle of justice and liberty for all its citizens.

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.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.
