GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to George Washington Parke Custis, Jan. 7, 1798

GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to James McHenry, Aug. 10, 1798
It is infinitely better to have a few good men than many indifferent ones.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to James McHenry, Aug. 10, 1798
The views of men can only be known, or guessed at, by their words or actions.
