George Washington: “Liberty is the right of every human being.”

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.

Satisfied, therefore, that you have sincerely wished and endeavored to avert war, and exhausted to the last drop the cup of reconciliation, we can with pure hearts appeal to Heaven for the justice of our cause.

An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.
