George Washington

"It is a tax, however, severe, which all those must pay, who are called to eminent stations of trust, not only to be held up as conspicuous marks to the enmity of the Public adversaries to their country, but to the malice of secret traitors and the envious intrigues of false friends and factions." George Washington, Letter to New Jersey Governor William Livingston, Head Quarters, Valley Forge, February 2, 1778

“May that God to whom you then appealed, judge between America & you! Under his Providence, those who influence the Councils of America, and all the other Inhabitants of these united Colonies, at the Hazard of their Lives, are resolved to hand down to Posterity those just & invaluable Privileges which they received from their Ancestors.” George Washington, Letter to Lieutenant General Thomas Gage, August 19, 1775
