the man whose heart was torn each time his soldiers' feet did bleed--the
man who stood like a rock between the despot and the down-trodden--that

reflected glory will light the annals of all coming centuries--that
kind, good man, George Washington, could not discern the separating line
between Duty and human happiness. "The consideration that human
happiness and moral duty," he said, "are inseparately connected, will
always continue to prompt me to promote the progress of the one by
inculcating the practice of the other."
