Happy Presidents Day!

In honor of Washington’s Birthday, here are seven quotes to remember our first president by:

• “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”
• “It is better to be alone than in bad company.”
• “Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.”
• “My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.”
• “Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.”
• “To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.”
• “Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.”

Have a good one.
