"The most enviable praise of all is..." - Quote by George Washington

“My manner of living is plain and I do not mean to be put out of it. A glass of wine and a bit of mutton are always ready.”

“Speak not evil of the absent for it is unjust.”

“For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.”

“The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.”

“Let common sense and common honesty have fair play, and they will soon set things to rights.”

“For the habitual truth-teller and truth-seeker, indeed, the whole world has very little liking. He is always unpopular.”

“Make money and the whole nation will conspire to call you a gentleman.”

“A man who pays his bills on time is soon forgotten.”

“Please don't use the word tough. People might get the impression that I don't care. And I do care, very deeply. Resilient, I think.”
