Martha Washington : A woman for the best of times and the worst of times

Young Martha Washington

I made this entry for a friend at my Gallery store/ studio  in Saint George

Martha a very private and refined woman, often went out of her comfort zone for the love of her husband and to encourage those serving with him at valley Forge.

Here is the Quote requested of the great woman.Martha Washington:

-- I am still determined to be cheerful and to be happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned, from experience, that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. We carry the seeds of the one or the other about with us, in our minds, wheresoever we go.

Samual Adams Quote on virtue and liberty of this country

n  If Virtue & Knowledge are diffus’d among the People, they will never be enslav’d. This will be their great Security 

n   truest friend to the liberty of this country will not suffer a man to be chosen to any office of power who is not wise and virtuous. If ever time should come.

n  Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man.

"Without Virture America will not survive. That is the hard facts that is why my ancestors in F rance lost their revolution. They took God and replace it with  the love of themselves. You take God out of the Constitution  and the French did just that out of therir constitution. where does that leave You ? We here in Americal are doing the same. We must bring it back or their is not hope" Michael Bedard

Ignorance and Freedom

Thomas Jefferson from a Miraculious Request
Artist Michael Bedard

If a nation expects to be ignorant & free, in a state of civilisation, it expects what never was & never will be.
Thomas Jefferson

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.” –Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315?

Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath.

Thomas Jefferson

There are three things that will save America:

1. Acknowledge Gods hand in its creation and destiny.
2. Understand the principles of good government the founders gave us and make
sure those we elect adhere to them.
3. Keep Gods commandments.

Quotes worth remembering from George Washington

George Washington

Artist michael Bedard ©

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

“A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.”

“Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.” 

“I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.”
