Actors Quote by Jared Sparks
“Whoever would understand the character of Washington, in all its compass and grandeur, must learn it from his own writings, and from a complete history of his country during the long period in which he was the most prominent actor.”
![“More than all, and above all, [George] Washington was master of himself. If there be one quality more than another in his character which may exercise a useful control over the men of the present hour, it is the total disregard of self when in the most elevated positions for influence and example.” quote by Charles Francis Adams, Sr](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/da9/charles-francis-adams-sr-70316_character_more-than-all-and-above-all-george-washi_920377.jpg)
