America’s Privilege.

Our country should never forget what a proud privilege and what an inestimable blessing it is not to need and not to have big armies or navies to support. It should seek to influence mankind not by heavy artillery, but by good example and wise counsel. It should see its highest glory, not in battles won but in wars prevented.—Carl Schurz.
