CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS
American lawyer and diplomat (1807 - 1866)
|
More than all, and above all, Washington was master of himself.
If there be one quality more than another in his character which
may exercise a useful control over the men of the present hour,
it is the total disregard of self when in the most elevated
positions for influence and example.
- [Washington, George]
It would be superfluous in me to point out to your Lordship that
this is war.
- Dispatch of Earl Russell [War]
