Top 5 quotes from George Washington
"Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness."
"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."
"As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
"The Nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest."
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

"Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking."
"I never believed there was one code of morality for a public and another for a private man."
"The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad."
