Welcome to Presidential Quotes
May 20, 2012
The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same Religion, Manners, Habits, and Political Principles. You have in common cause fought and triumphed together; the Independence and Liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts-of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.-
- George Washington
