==Quotes from George Washington==
*Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.
*If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
*The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion
*Government is not reason, it is not eloquence. It is force, and like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
*Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles.
*There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily.
*Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence.
