More quotes by George Washington
Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.
Observe good faith and justice towards all Nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all.
To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
