And as this holiday originally began as a celebration of George Washington’s birthday, here are some quotes from him and Martha, his sweet wife:
On the right to keep and bear arms:
“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.”
–George Washington
And on good attitude:
“I am still determined to be cheerful and 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.”
–Martha Washington
Have a great Presidents Day! :)
