Today seems like a very good day to reflect upon the words and wisdom of honored Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

George Washington

“The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.”

“Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.”

“Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.”

“Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.”

 

Abraham Lincoln

“No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.”

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

“Don’t worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.”
