“A soldier by profession and a surveyor by trade, Washington was first and foremost a man of action. He never learned a foreign language or traveled abroad, and never wrote a political tract or a philosophical treatise on politics. Like Abraham Lincoln, Washington had received little formal education. And yet his words, thoughts and deeds as a military commander, a president, and a patriotic leader make him one of the greatest – perhaps the greatest – statesman of our history. … Four great themes of Washington’s life – individual character, religion and religious liberty, the rule of law, and the defense of national independence – are particularly reflective of the objectives of his statesmanship and suggest why his example is a prime model for today’s confused politics.”
