George Washington: “A well-informed citizenry is essential to a functioning democracy.”

I can not express how greatly affected I am at this new proof of public confidence.

It will be inconvenient and injurious to the public to dismiss the light dragoons as soon as notice of the law can be conveyed to them.

To such men I shall cheerfully yield the palm of genius and talents to serve our common country.

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