George Washington Quote on Wisdom

“Mankind, when left to themselves, are unfit for their own government.” – George Washington

George Washington viewed wisdom as rooted in virtue, prudence, and honesty, believing they were essential for both personal success and national prosperity. He emphasized that true wisdom involves choosing good company, learning from mistakes rather than dwelling on them, and maintaining moral principles. Key aspects include self-denial, practicing caution in judgments, and understanding that a nation’s or individual’s long-term well-being depends on its virtue.
