More from George Washington
To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.
Good government is the product of a well-informed and engaged citizenry.
I must not conceal from you my earnest wish that the choice had fallen upon a man less declined in years and better qualified to encounter the usual vicissitudes of war.
A good government must be founded on the principle of justice and liberty for all its citizens.
