    About this ebook

    The Father of the United States, George Washington was the first President of States and the Commander In Chief at the time of American Revolution. Though his first service as an army man was fro the Royal British Army, he eventually turned as the leader of the colonial revolutionary army against the Royal Army. At last with the help of French Army, the ferocious revolution came to a success and the rest is a history that we all knew. In the post war Constitutional Convention in 1787, he was unanimously elected as the First President of The United States and formed a new government. With an intense aware that his conduct as President will set a predicament for his successors, he weighed his each step carefully. Though he badly longed for retirement after the first term, the Electoral College again called up him without any opponents. He single-handedly managed the disputes among the desperate colonies and was the key in founding the nation as United States. He was much responsible and vigilant in performing his presidential duties without any bias and always preferred to be called as Mr. President and set a mode of conduct for his followers. George Washington preferred to be citizen than to become a king. More than as a military or revolutionary hero, he is regarded as a person with great integrity, deep sense of vision and honor. His profound achievements laid the foundations of a powerful nation.

      INTRODUCTION

      The Father of the United States, George Washington was the first President of States and the Commander In Chief at the time of American Revolution.

      Born to an aristocratic family in Virginia in 1732, his parents were Augustine Washington and Mary Ball Washington. They were vast plantations and slaves in Colonial Virginia. Though he had mere elementary education, George was excellent in mathematics. After the death of his father, he was brought up by his brother, Lawrence. The experiences with him molded George’s outlooks. He got appointed as a surveyor and journeyed through the outback of American colonies for weeks. These made him aggressive and tenacious both by body and mind. The subsequent death of his brother made him the heir of Mount Vermon where he lived for the rest of his life.

      It was time that England and France were engaged in continuous fights over the rule of colonies. Since George Washington held a commissioner position in British Colonial Amy, he had to lead an encounter which lost to the French Army. Though he welcomed as hero in colonies as he fought befitting a leader with valor, the Royal Government accused the colonials for the blow. Much frustrated Washington gave up his post with the Army and returned to Mount Vermon.

      Leaving the Army, he continued the farming and married Martha Custis. As an owner of 6000 acres, he became one among the wealthiest in Virginia. He engaged himself in politics and was elected as a member of Virginia House of Burgesses. By the 1770’s, the situations in colonies got worsened by England’s new rules and regulations for taxes. He was one among the first persons to oppose these policies. The colonial Congress appointed him as the commander of their army in a fight against the British. Though they had to taste bitterness, the humiliating battles continued. At last with the help of French Army, the ferocious revolution came to a success and the rest is a history that we all knew…

      In the post war Constitutional Convention in 1787, he was unanimously elected as the First President of The United States and formed a new government. With an intense aware that his conduct as President will set a predicament for his successors, he weighed his each step carefully. Though he badly longed for retirement after the first term, the Electoral College again called up him without any opponents. He single-handedly managed the disputes among the desperate colonies and was the key in founding the nation as United States. He was much responsible and vigilant in performing his presidential duties without any bias and always preferred to be called as Mr. President and set a mode of conduct for his followers. Refusing to be in presidential chair for the third term, he returned to his Mount Vermon plantations and spent the rest of his years there. He bid adieu the world in December 14, 1799.

      George Washington preferred to be citizen than to become a king. More than as a military or revolutionary hero, he is regarded as a person with great integrity, deep sense of vision and honor. His profound achievements laid the foundations of a powerful nation.

      Here in this book, we have the impeccable words of this legendary country man whose mighty steps converted the lives of entire Americans.

      QUOTES OF GEORGE WASHINGTON

      To point out the importance of circumspection in your conduct, it may be proper to observe that a good moral character is the first essential in a man, and that the habits contracted at your age are generally indelible, and your conduct here may stamp your character through life. It is therefore highly important that you should endeavor not only to be learned but virtuous.

      I have always given it as my decided opinion that no nation had a right to intermeddle in the internal concerns of another; that everyone had a right to form and adopt whatever government they liked best to live under themselves;

      May Heaven to this Union continue its beneficence?

      There is nothing which can better deserve your patronage, than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.

      Men are very apt to run into extremes, hatred to England may carry come into an excess of Confidence in France. I am heartily disposed to entertain the most favorable sentiments of our new ally and to cherish them in others to a reasonable degree; but it is a maxim founded on the universal experience of mankind, that no nation is to be trusted farther than it is bound by its interest; and no prudent statesman or politician will venture to depart from it.

      Sleep not when others speak, sit not when others stand, speak not when you should hold your peace, and walk not when others stop.

      We cannot guarantee success; we can strive to deserve it.

      We are not to expect perfection in this world; but mankind, in modern times, has apparently made some progress in the science of government.

      It is at all times easier to make enemies than friends.

      I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party, generally.

      I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong.

      Let us impart all the blessings we possess, or ask for ourselves, to the whole family of mankind.

      The consciousness of having discharged that duty which we owe to our country is superior to all other considerations.

      I only wish, while I am a servant of the public, to know the will of my masters, that I may govern myself accordingly.

      To every description of citizens, let praise be given. But let them persevere in their affectionate vigilance over that precious depository of American happiness, the Constitution of the United States. Let them cherish it, too, for the sake of those who, from every clime, are daily seeking a dwelling in our land.

      "It has always been a source of serious reflection and sincere regret with me that the youth of the United States should be sent to foreign countries for the purpose of education. Although there are many who escape the danger of contracting
