Text Quotes
For years now, long before I became House majority leader, I have been passionate about foreign affairs because I believe that anyone who leads in Washington must appreciate the significance of America’s role in providing for global security and prosperity.  (Washington Quotes) Foreign policy is conducted for the convenience and enjoyment of people in Washington  (Washington Quotes) A lot of people we tell the story to assume that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were actually part of the original Washington Irving story, which only happens to be 17 pages. It’s a great starting point, and then we built on it, very much in a logical progression.  (Washington Quotes) It [the internet] should be publicly controlled but Washington is not a system of public control, it’s mainly a system of corporate control. We ought to have a free internet, but that means having a free society, and there is fundamental questions there.  (Washington Quotes) In 1985, a group of mujahedeen came to Washington and was greeted by President Reagan, who called them freedom fighters. These people, by the way, don’t represent Islam in any formal sense. They’re not imams or sheiks. They are self-appointed warriors for Islam.  (Washington Quotes) It was thought that to rally Islam against godless communism would be doing the Soviet Union a very bad turn indeed, and that, in fact, transpired. In 1985, a group of mujahedeen came to Washington and was greeted by President [Ronald] Reagan, who called them freedom fighters.  (Washington Quotes) The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn’t for any religious reasons. They couldn’t find three wise men and a virgin.  (Washington Quotes) You know what’s funny is that I have this ongoing relationship with the city of Washington D.C. I went to George Washington University, and my nickname was K-Dub - based on G-Dub - and I’m now on the board of trustees at George Washington University.  (Washington Quotes) I bet after seeing us, George Washington would sue us for calling him ‘father.’  (Washington Quotes) If I was the governor of New Jersey, the George Washington Bridge would not have been shut  (Washington Quotes) The white man made the mistake of letting me read his history books. He made the mistake of teaching me that Patrick Henry was a patriot and George Washington - wasn’t nothing non-violent about old Pat or George Washington.  (Washington Quotes) Fantasy is the tendency of Americans, going back to colonial times, to look at the Middle East as a type of fractured mirror of the United States - a type of mirror that could look a lot more like the United States, if, say, a Middle Eastern George Washington would emerge.  (Washington Quotes) I think George Washington owned guns. I’ve never seen any contradiction with that.  (Washington Quotes) I think there’s no doubt that George Washington was the most important American to this time  (Washington Quotes) George Washington hated the guerrillas. He wanted to imitate the British red coat armies, fighting as gentlemen are supposed to fight.  (Washington Quotes) I was with George Washington at Valley Forge, sitting around before an attack... gimme a break. That’s over 70 years ago already.  (Washington Quotes) President George Washington used to wear a wig and make-up. I mean, c’mon, if he could do it, I can do it.  (Washington Quotes) We’ve had Muslims in America since George Washington. And we’ve had many successful Muslims. We just lost a particular well-known one with Muhammad Ali.  (Washington Quotes) What good would it be to fight a war with the British and end up with your own king? Nobody had any idea that George Washington would be George Washington.  (Washington Quotes) In fact, I think 500 years from now, the two Americans so far who will be remembered are George Washington and Neil Armstrong, who, amazingly hasn’t been paid very much attention.  (Washington Quotes) George Washington participated as a vestryman in his local congregation, but that didn’t really imply any particular kind of religious belief. This was necessary in order to participate in the society.  (Washington Quotes) The author distinguishes George Washington’s leadership from that of another aristocratic general whose temperament was somewhat cold. Unlike him, Washington made the effort to at least appear to suffer with his troops.  (Washington Quotes) Lest anyone try to convince you that God should be separated from the state, our founding fathers, they were believers. And George Washington, he saw faith in God as basic to life.  (Washington Quotes) Every president since George Washington has respected this clause in the Constitution. We want to avoid that Constitutional potential crisis. And the way to do it is for Donald Trump - it`s not about him.  (Washington Quotes) Speaking of [Ronald] Reagan on the faith of the founders, he was particularly fond of George Washington, who he cited nearly 200 times, and almost twice as much as all the presidents since [John F.]Kennedy combined.  (Washington Quotes) During the darkest days of the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress and George Washington - I call him the first George W. - (laughter and applause) - urged citizens to pray and to give thanks and to ask for God’s protection.  (Washington Quotes) George Washington said, All I am, I owe to my mother. That’s so true. My mom pushed me to get in politics. She pushed me to learn a bunch of languages. She pushed me and inspired me. She is the reason why I’m in politics.  (Washington Quotes) There is a reason why George Washington is always one of the top three presidents, and it’s not because of his prowess as a military leader; it’s not because of the incredible innovations in policy that he introduced. It’s because he knew when it was time to go.  (Washington Quotes) I can see it now: Osama bin Laden goes up to the pearly gates where George Washington comes out, starts beating him and is then joined by 70 other members of the Continental Congress. Osama will say, Hey, wait! Where are my 71 virgins? And George will reply It’s 71 Virginians, you asshole!  (Washington Quotes) I’m coming to Washington, D.C., to do the people’s work. And the people’s work has to do with reducing spending and cutting budgets and, and trying to get a grip on the size of government.  (Washington Quotes)
