“As Mankind becomes 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 protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.” - George Washington

The word liberality means generosity. So that seems to be what he's talking about not what we mean by political liberalism 200+ years later. Please stop misusing this quote regardless of how effectively it might fool people. :D
