General Quote (9)
“How soon we forget history…
Government is not reason.
Government is not eloquence.
It is force.
And like fire,
It is a dangerous servant
And a fearful master.”
— George Washington

General Quote (8)
Today we remember the events of September 11, 2001. However, we must remember all of the events that lead us through life, not just the ones that are at the forefront of the media outlets. As Americans, we can be patriotic, but it must be to the country as 26th President Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt once stated.
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official.” — Theodore Roosevelt
