Famous quotes containing the words washington and/or generals:
“The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Most benefactors are like unskillful generals who take the city and leave the citadel intact.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
