"Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all." 

President George Washington

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

Whatever you are, be a good one."

President Abraham Lincoln
