About this Quote

Robert Frost's quote about George Washington is a testament to the Founding Father's character. Washington was a leader who was not swayed by the power he held. He was a guy of integrity and humbleness, and he was not driven by a desire for individual gain or glory. Instead, he was motivated by an inner voice and duty to individuals he served. Washington was a guy of principle and honor, and he was not corrupted by the power he held. He was a leader who was respected and appreciated by his peers and the people he served. Washington's example of generous management is one that need to be remembered and replicated by all leaders today. His legacy of stability and humility is one that must be celebrated and honored.
