Ideals Are Like The Stars: We Never

I Have Always Been In Favor Of A Healthy Americanization, But That Does Not Mean A Complete Disavowal Of Our German Heritage. It Means That Our Character Should Take On The Best Of That Which Is American, And Combine It With The Best Of That Which Is German. By Doing This, We Can Best Serve The American People And Their Civilization.

The Senator From Wisconsin Cannot Frighten Me By Exclaiming, My Country, Right Or Wrong. In One Sense I Say So Too. My Country; And My Country Is The Great American Republic. My Country, Right Or Wrong; If Right, To Be Kept Right; And If Wrong, To Be Set Right.

We Have Come To A Point Where It Is Loyalty To Resist, And Treason To Submit.

Our Country ... When Right, To Be Kept Right. When Wrong, To Be Put Right.

Ideals Are Like Stars; You Will Not Succeed In Touching Them With Your Hands. But Like The Seafaring Man On The Desert Of Waters, You Choose Them As Your Guides, And Following Them You Will Reach Your Destiny.
