I cannot however give up my hopes and expectations that we shall 'ere long adopt a more just and liberal system of policy. What circumstances will lead, or what misfortunes will compel us to it, is more than can be told without the spirit of prophecy.” ~ George Washington (1732-1799) Founding Father, 1st US President, 'Father of the Country'Source: George Washington to Thomas Jefferson, August 1, 1786
