About George Washington
George Washington (1732–1799) was the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and the first President of the United States. Born in Virginia, he rose from a colonial militia officer to become one of the most revered leaders in world history. His leadership through crisis, self-discipline, and moral character have made him an enduring symbol of principled leadership.
Washington believed that character, virtue, and self-mastery were the foundations of true leadership. He held that personal integrity and service to something greater than oneself were the highest callings a person could answer.
"It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one."
"Associate with men of good quality, if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company."
