In honor of our nation’s birthday, here’s a sketch of George Washington I did a year or so ago.
Also, I googled some thoughtful quotes from our greatest President:
“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.”
“Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.”
“Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.”
“I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an Honest Man.”
“We ought not to look back, unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors and for the purpose of profiting by dear bought experience.
“Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse. ”
“Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
Have a terrific 4th of July!
