George Washington actually said...

"The foundation of our national policy will be laid on the solid basis of the people's will."

"Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness."

"The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories...has been evinced by the experience of all mankind."

"A nation is only as strong as its moral character."
