George Washington actually said...

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence—it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."

"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."

"Observe good faith and justice towards all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all."

"A strong nation is built on the foundation of unity and common purpose."
