By clinging to the ideas and ideals which animated the framers
of the Declaration of Independence, we can assure not only peace
within, but national security and respect from other nations.
When we fail to adequately comprehend the principles incident
to our Government, its fundamental ideals which have made our
Government, the United States of America faces anarchy and destruction.
Let our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing
but our country, and by the blessing of God may that country
itself become a vast and splendid monument, not of oppression
and terror, but of wisdom, of peace, and of liberty, upon which
the world may gaze with admiration forever. - Webster, |
