George Washington - Words of Wisdom

Written on January 25, 2008 – 5:29 am | by Bill |

Some of the best lessons I have learned in life come from people I never met.

I would like to share some of the ‘words of wisdom’ that I have picked up over the years.

George Washington said: 

Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for ‘tis better to be alone than in bad company.

(Karl Malone said - “I used to watch inspirational videos. Now I am in one.) george.washington.jpeg

To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.

(Strength is indeed a deterrent.) 

Last words December 14, 1799: “It is well, I die hard, but I am not afraid to go.

(I am not afraid to die…and I am still young. How about you?)

What’s your favorite quote? and why?
