"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Happy birthday, Washington.

Stuart, George Washington, 1796


George Washington was born on this day in 1732.

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent -- it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

George Washington
