Actually, George Washington did not suggest a two-term limit for the office of President. He chose not to run for a third term because he was so frustrated and disgusted with what the United States was becoming that there was no amount of money that could be worth spending another minute in a job serving so many thankless cretins as we the people.

George Washington was the first to suggest a two-term limit for US presidents but it wasn’t signed into law until the 22nd amendment to the Constitution in 1951. This was due to Franklin Roosevelt serving four consecutive terms.
