“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
–The Unanimous Declaration
of the 13 United States of America
Life. Liberty. And the Pursuit of Happiness.
Shall we be ever so grateful, today and always, to our founding fathers of this great nation, for granting us these rights. Let us be grateful to the divine spirit and our parents, that we were somehow fortunate enough to be born here instead of being born into a life of oppression. And if we immigrated here, to offer ourselves thanks for having the strength and resolution to seek out a better way of life for ourselves and our family.
Below are some wonderful quotes, by George Washington. May we all strive towards these basic freedoms in joy today, and always. Happy Presidents Day !!
“Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.”
“Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light.”
“It has been a maxim with me from early life, never to undertake anything without perceiving a door to the accomplishment, in a reasonable time and with my own resources.”
“Rise early, that by habit it may become familiar, agreeable, healthy, and profitable. It may, for a while, be irksome to do this, but that will wear off; and the practice will produce a rich harvest forever thereafter; whether in public or private walks of life.” (Amen to that ♥)
