Jefferson. There will never be a better, clearer, brighter mind than his.

Washington, he never gave up, nor shirked his duty. Jefferson would likely be a tie, but we had to pick one.

George Washington. Never would have done it without him. And he was the guy who set the precedent of stepping down from office.

John Adams.

He was obnoxious and disliked, and he never got a monument (or a dinner)!

Washington. A lion among men, and never will a more honorable man hold that office.

John Adams. Was the defense attorney for the British Soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre because he believed they needed adequate representation. Knew that the Declaration of Independence needed to come from a Virginian and not himself as he was disliked. Gave up his chance at a second term as President by avoiding a war with the French, much to the dislike and dismay of his own Federalist Party. A man of great moral fiber, as were so many others.

George Washington is a man I hold in very high esteem. His personal character was really superlative. Courageous, bright, decisive, a leader of men - yet TRULY humble, such a rare quality.
