George Washington actually said...

"Let us never forget that government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force."

"I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man."

"The rights of individuals must be defended with vigilance and courage."

"The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible."
