Absolutely.
George Washington quotes from BrainyQuote.
- If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.
- Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness.
- Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth.
- Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
- Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.
- If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
- Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals.
- Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government.
- The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.
- To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.
