It Is Part Of The American Character

I Abhor War And View It As The Greatest Scourge Of Mankind.

Victory And Defeat Are Each Of The Same Price.

Defend Our Liberties And Fashion Into One United People The Multitudes Brought Hither Out Of Many Kindred And Tongues.

Material Abundance Without Character Is The Surest Way To Destruction.

I Hope That We Have Not Labored In Vain, And That Our Experiment Will Still Prove That Men Can Be Governed By Reason.
