Perhaps Even Truer Today

Jan 24, 05:25 AM -- by Chaz

Quote of for the year:

Much indeed to be regretted, party disputes are now carried to such a length, and truth is so enveloped in mist and false representation, that it is extremely difficult to know through what channel to seek it. This difficulty to one, who is of no party, and whose sole wish is to pursue with undeviating steps a path which would lead this country to respectability, wealth, and happiness, is exceedingly to be lamented. But such, for wise purposes, it is presumed, is the turbulence of human passions in party disputes, when victory more than truth is the palm contended for.

Brilliant, and so true these days. So who said it?

George Washington wrote it, actually, in a letter dated July 27th, 1795 to Timothy Pickering.

Too bad so many of those who claim that they are acting with this Country’s Founding Fathers as their inspiration seem to have missed this paragraph…
