Wherever The Standard Of Freedom And Independence

The American Continents, By The Free And Independent Condition That They Have Assumed And Maintain, Are Henceforth Not To Be Considered As Subjects For Future Colonisation Byany European Powers? In The Wars Of The Europeanpowers Inmattersrelating To Ourselves, We Have Never Taken Any Part; Nor Does It Comport With Our Policy To Do So.

A Stranger Would Think That The People Of The United States Had No Other Occupation Than Electioneering.

America Is A Friend Of Freedom Everywhere, But A Custodian Only Of Our Own.

In Charity To All Mankind, Bearing No Malice Or Ill Will To Any Human Being, And Even Compassionating Those Who Hold In Bondage Their Fellow Men, Not Knowing What They Do.

A Stout Heart, A Clear Conscience, And Never Despair.
