"The crisis is arrived when we must..." - Quote by George Washington

“A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite.”

“For the sake of humanity it is devoutly to be wished that the manly employment of agriculture and the humanizing benefits of commerce would supersede the waste of war and the rage of conquest; and the swords might be turned into ploughshares, the spears into pruning-hooks, and as the Scripture expresses it, "the nations learn war no more.”

“There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily”

“To do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom.”

“We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.”

“Those who are willing to forfeit liberty for security will have neither.”

“I cannot and will not give any undertaking at a time when I, and you, the people, are not free. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.”

“It seems to me that it is the basic right of any human being to work.”

“No society can possibly be built on a denial of individual freedom.”
