As you begin your tour of the United States, you may as well know that one american national trait which irritates many americans and must be convenient for our critics is that we relentlessly advertise our imperfections. Beware how you trifle with your marvelous inheritance, this great land of ordered liberty, for if we stumble and fall, freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin. I guess it wouldn't discourage a real mob for very long, but it packs all the authority you can put in a desk drawer. I would rather see the United States respected than loved by other nations. If a man is going to be an american at all, let him be so without any qualifying adjectives; and if he is going to be something else, let him drop the word american from his personal description. It has been well said that a hungry man is more interested in four sandwiches than four freedoms. It has been well said that a hungry man is more interested in four sandwiches than four freedoms.

The american idea is a free church in a free state, and a free and unsectarian public school in every ward and every village with its door wide open to children of all races and every creed. The fact that the talk may be boring or turgid or uninspiring should not cause us to forget the fact that it is preferable to war. This organization is created to prevent you from going to hell. It isnt created to take you to heaven. |
