:George Washington, like Jesus, deliberately turned down secular power when offered to him; he only took power when he knew it would please God.  Even though he was not a professional general, nor the greatest the world has ever seen, he kept his troops together in the darkest days and used them to great advantage in battle.  Even Napoleon once said of him that his crossing of the Delaware was a brilliant move, both politically and militarily.  He taught himself geometry, surveying, and other subjects himself.  At the Constitutional Convention, James Madison said of him that occasionally it was only his leadership which held the gathering together.  (Duncan B.)
