Besides being an able fighter and
great military leader, George
Washington was also a deep thinker
and a wise man. Here are a few
maxims and thoughts that he wrote,
were veto follow them they might
help US to be good and noble citi-
zens.
When, another speaks be atten-
tive yourself and disturb not the au-

Speak not evil of the absent--it is
unjust.

did not lay aside the citizen.
We must not despair; the game is

Let us have government by
which our lives. liberties and prop
