"We should not look back unless it..." - Quote by George Washington

“Honesty is always the best policy.”

“It is not the lowest priced goods that are always the cheapest - the quality is, or ought to be as much an object with the purchaser, as the price.”

“For myself the delay [in assuming the office of the President] may be compared with a reprieve; for in confidence I assure you, with the world it would obtain little credit that my movements to the chair of Government will be accompanied by feelings not unlike those of a culprit who is going to the place of his execution: so unwilling am I, in the evening of a life nearly consumed in public cares, to quit a peaceful abode for an Ocean of difficulties, without that competency of political skill, abilities and inclination which is necessary to manage the helm.”

“All too often, we do smart things only after exhausting every conceivable dumb thing we could have done.”

“The best university that can be recommended to a man of ideas is the gauntlet of the mob.”

“Everything is hard before it is easy.”

“You are the sum total of everything you've seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot- it's all right there.”

“To see wild life you must go forth at wild season.”

“Things bring their own philosophy with them, that is, prudence.”
