More from George Washington
Observe good faith and justice towards all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
To such men I shall cheerfully yield the palm of genius and talents to serve our common country.
Nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated.
Those services, and greater had I possessed ability to render them, were due to the unanimous calls of my country, and its approbation is my abundant reward.
