"As mankind become more liberal they will be more apt to allow, that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the Community are equally entitled to the protection of civil Government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations in examples of justice and liberality." -- George Washington (b. 1732-02-22^[*], d. 1799-12-14; President of the US 1789-1797), Letter to Roman Catholics, (1790-03-15) [via Wikiquote]
