Portrait to come. See entry in Wikipedia

In a land where horsemanship was often men’s touchiest point of pride, Jefferson had to admit he never saw Washington’s like for grace and control in the saddle. A froniter runner and Indian wrestler — his friend George Mercer described his frame as padded with well-developed muscles — Washington had by 1774 refined mere energy down to a grace of least movement, the higher athleticism of the dance. And he danced well.

— Garry Wills
Inventing America: Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence (1978)

Men who are familiarized with danger, meet it without shrinking, whereas those who have never seen service often apprehend danger where no danger lies.

— George Washington, 1776
