Letter "W" » Washington George
"The defender of his country–the founder of liberty,
The friend of man,
History and tradition are explored in vain
For a parallel to his character.
In the annals of modern greatness
He stands alone;
And the noblest names of antiquity
Lose their lustre in his presence.
Born the benefactor of mankind,
He united all the greatness necessary
To an illustrious career.
Nature made him great,
He made himself virtuous."

About: Washington George
"Our common Father and Deliverer, to whose prudence, wisdom and
valour we owe our Peace, Liberty and Safety, now leads and
directs in the great councils of the nation . . . and now we
celebrate an independent Government–an original Constitution!
an independent Legislature, at the head of which we this day
celebrate, The Father of his Country–We celebrate Washington!
We celebrate an independent Empire!"

About: Washington George
"Simple and brave, his faith awoke
Ploughmen to struggle with their fate;
Armies won battles when he spoke,
And out of Chaos sprang the state."
Author: Robert Bridges ("Droch")
About: Washington George
"While Washington's a watchword, such as ne'er
Shall sink while there's an echo left to air."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Washington George
"Where may the wearied eye repose,
When gazing on the Great;
Where neither guilty glory glows,
Nor despicable state?
Yes–one the first, the last, the best,
The Cincinnatus of the West
Whom envy dared not hate,
Bequeathed the name of Washington
To make man blush; there was but one."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Washington George
"There's a star in the West that shall never go down
Till the records of Valour decay,
We must worship its light though it is not our own,
For liberty burst in its ray.
Shall the name of a Washington ever be heard
By a freeman, and thrill not his breast?
Is there one out of bondage that hails not the word,
As a Bethlehem Star of the West?"
Author: Eliza Cook
About: Washington George
"The character, the counsels, and example of our
Washington . . . they will guide us through the doubts and
difficulties that beset us; they will guide our children and our
children's children in the paths of prosperity and peace, while
America shall hold her place in the family of nations."
Author: Edward Everett
About: Washington George
"Here you would know, and enjoy, what prosperity will way of
Washington. For a thousand leagues have nearly the same effect
with a thousand years."
Author: Benjamin Franklin
About: Washington George
"O Washington! thrice glorious name,
What due rewards can man decree–
Empires are far below thy aim,
And scepters have no charms for thee;
Virtue alone has your regards,
And she must be your great reward."
