Throughout the text he had good connections. One of the most important as well as the best was, "We find it a pretty hard thing to make a good Christian of a hungry man. No matter how much our people "get happy" and "shout" in church, if they go home at night from church hungry, they are tempted to find something before morning." This was an excellent connection because he's basically connecting a person's hunger for food to the hunger for something wrong. He's connecting how people may do one thing in certain places and in certain circumstances. but if they have that "hunger," all that means absolutely nothing. This quote just really hits me, I guess because it's so true!
Good sayings are what Washington seems to be very good at making. They're so completely true, and make the most sense. One that I really feel is, "Putting off till to-morrow and the day after the duty that should be done promptly to-day." This saying is basically about procrastinating. He's saying how putting things off is pointless because it can definitely be done today! It seems as if he not only says these things, but goes by each and every word in his every day life. That's what makes them so good, because he's not a hypocritical person and doesn't feel the need to say something he doesn't even believe or live by.
Throughout the whole text he portrayed himself as the type of person that says what he means and means what he says! He seemed to always do what he could at the time and didn't care too much what other people thought about that or him. If I was alive in that time I would have definitely looked at him as somebody I would look up to without a doubt. He was just a good leader and opened a lot of doors for his people.
