George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) was the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army during the American Revolution and the first president of the United States. Washington established a precedent by being a decent, humble, down-to-earth citizen, stepping down after only two terms as President. He freed his slaves after his death and worked towards racial and religious freedom. Washington is known as the Father of the Nation for his contributions towards making the country of America what it is today.
Where are those mothers who created Abraham Lincoln? Where are those great women who sacrificed everything for their children to give them such greatness? George Washington fought the whole time all his life with such a strong wife he had! [1987-0808]
Racialism must be fought completely. That’s the greatest curse you have in the West. Especially in America people like George Washington, people like Abraham Lincoln, they have lost their lives because of this racialism. We have to know that our differences are only skin deep. [1989-0619]
We should ask a question: when others were expanding their empires, why did not America do it? The reason is very simple. At that time some great people with great conscience were born in that country and they guided that country. Like, you can say, Washington was there. Of course, there were so many people, whom if I name there, there will be a big list of those people. But if you see their character, their life, the way they lived. Abraham Lincoln, if you see his life, full of conscience, full of conscience. And they didn’t allow the nation to be drifted away to the ambition of gathering other countries and making them their slaves and ... This they didn’t do. [1993-0815]
This country has been blessed with very, very great people, as you know, very great people. Abraham Lincoln, what sort of a man he was, or even say, George Washington! [2000-1029]
