Flatterers And Men Of Learning Do Not

There Is No Man More Pusillanimous Than I When I Am Planning A Campaign. I Purposely Exaggerate All The Dangers And All The Calamities That The Circumstances Make Possible.

Once I Have Made Up My Mind, Everything Is Forgotten Except What Leads To Success.

Patriotism Is A Word Which Represents A Noble Idea.

Posterity Will Talk Of Washington As The Founder Of A Great Empire, When My Name Shall Be Lost In The Vortex Of Revolution.
