Famous quotes containing the word washington:

    Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
    All of man’s infirmity!
    Then, from Thine eternal throne,
    Jesus, look with pitying eye.
    —George Washington Doane (1799–1859)

    You can’t hold a man down without staying down with him.
    —Booker T. Washington (1856–1915)

    I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward.
    —George Washington (1732–1799)
