Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by individuals.
— George Washington
Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.
My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.
True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.
Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
