The quotable George Washington : the wisdom of an American patriot

Author:	George Washington; Stephen Lucas
Publisher:	Madison, Wis. : Madison House, ©1999.

Summary:	Our nation's first president is not usually thought of as a man of words. Unlike the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials in the nation's capital, the Washington monument is inscribed with no words for the benefit of posterity.

Here, collected in an elegant volume, is the authoritative selection of Washington's thoughts and observations culled from his public discourse and private correspondence. As we read his comments on subjects as diverse as government, foreign policy, religious freedom, friendship, character, and relations between the sexes, we find that his words are often as applicable to our own time as they were to his.  Read more...
