"We must take care always to keep..." - Quote by George Washington

“It is to be lamented that great characters are seldom without a blot.”

“It is much easier at all times to prevent an evil than to rectify mistakes.”

“A sensible woman can never be happy with a fool.”

“Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake.”

“I believe the chance of any event causing Berkshire to experience financial problems is essentially zero. We will always be prepared for the thousand-year flood; in fact, if it occurswe will be selling life jackets to the unprepared.”

“To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.”

“We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

“If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.”

“Force is the antithesis of freedom, but force must be used, if only to defend against other force.”
