I’m not from a political family and didn’t grow up dreaming of being George Washington.

(Washington Quotes)

Far be it for the public schools to teach this, but the U.S.A. was founded on basic Judeo-Christian principles. Don’t believe me - take a trip to Washington D.C. and tour the Supreme Court building. There you will see a sculpted copy of the Ten Commandments on the wall. (Washington Quotes)
Americans have a lower opinion of Congress than they do of the NFL replacement refs, head lice, traffic jams, cockroaches and even the group to which yours truly belongs - Washington political pundits. (Washington Quotes)
People have always said - those words, ‘too conservative,’ is fairly relative. I’m sure that they probably said that about Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. (Washington Quotes)
Washington politicians think that government can make better decisions than you and me. But we know better. We know it’s smaller, less intrusive government that will lead to real economic prosperity. We know it’s business-friendly policies, not more red tape, that will create real growth. (Washington Quotes)

Washington is the city where the big men of little towns come to be disillusioned (Washington Quotes)
In Washington, we’ve seen enough tax hikes, government takeovers, bailouts, and other big government solutions under Speaker Pelosi’s control. (Washington Quotes)
America’s middle class is getting hammered, and Washington is rigged to work for the big guy (Washington Quotes)
The assumption that Washington could and would resolve Lehman Brothers without a bankruptcy, as it had Bear Stearns, was the single biggest mistake in the series of mistakes in 2007 and 2008 that led to the financial panic and the ensuing epidemic of job losses. (Washington Quotes)

The summer before my third year of law school, I worked at a law firm in Washington, D.C.

I hadn’t spent a birthday with him since I was 3, but I agreed. (Washington Quotes)
Black Americans are the only people in history who are for education instead of liberation. George Washington wasn’t beating up on British for the right to open a college! The line isn’t Give me education or give me death. (Washington Quotes)
Governmental intervention and personal responsibility are not mutually exclusive issues, but they do frame a ‘do it ourselves’ vs. ‘what are you doing for us’ debate. For the black community, that’s a debate that’s been raging at least as far back as the W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington philosophical grudge matches. (Washington Quotes)
The problem with relegating black history to one really short month, the shortest month, is not only are we telling the same stories over and over again - which are amazing, George Washington Carver is incredible, there’s nobody like Frederick Douglass - but there are so many. (Washington Quotes)
If you think about ‘Person of Interest’ with Taraji P. Henson or ‘Scandal’ with Kerry Washington - any of those black women could have been any race; they just happen to be black. And those are the characters that I’m more attracted to. It’s not so much about separation of race, but really, more uniting us. (Washington Quotes)
When you see Washington consistently turning a blind eye to suffering, don’t sit back and apathetically blame indifference. The loudest voices may be delivering the worst messages today, but history shows that grass-roots energy has the power to change anything when that energy is focused toward justice (Washington Quotes)
I don’t know what the strategy will be in Washington. The reality is, is, I have got to go down there, as my mentor, as people like Bill Bradley have told me to do, get to know your colleagues on both sides of the aisle, recognize that they, too, beat with the same heart and the same type of blood. (Washington Quotes)
I won’t sell any Facebook shares as long as I’m on the board. When I leave, all my Facebook shares will be donated to two or three D.C. education-related charities I’ve supported over the years. Thus, a small portion of Facebook’s success will be shared with low income students in Washington. (Washington Quotes)
Christopher Hitchens, the late essayist and sot, was a man who purposefully cultivated a lot of friends of a certain type - rich, self-important, generally dim-witted and hence easy for a well-spoken Oxbridge debater to impress - and he electrified Washington D.C. society mainly by not being a completely charmless bore. (Washington Quotes)
