Mason Weems Quote

I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.


Portrayed as the words of the young George Washington, confessing to have damaged a cherry tree in Life of Washington (1800)


I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.

I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.

I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.

I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet.
