“Differences in political opinions are as unavoidable as, to a certain point, they may perhaps be necessary; but it is exceedingly to be regretted that subjects cannot be discussed with temper on the one hand, or decisions submitted to without having the motives, which led to them, improperly implicated on the other; and this regret borders on chagrin when we find that men of abilities, zealous patriots, having the same general objects in view, and the same upright intentions to prosecute them, will not exercise more charity in deciding on the opinions and actions of one another.” MenMayHandsActionPoliticalCertainDifferencesAbilityDecisionViewsOpinionSubjectsObjectsRegretExerciseIntentionCharityBordersMotiveTemperPatriotPartisanshipZealousChagrinPolitical Opinions Book:The real George Washington Source: The real George Washington
“Whatever expenditure is sanctioned - even when it is sanctioned against the ministry's wish - the ministry must find the money. Accordingly, they have the strongest motive to oppose extra outlay.
