—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
“United States! the ages plead,—
Present and Past in under-song,—
Go put your creed into your deed,—
Nor speak with double tongue.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes.”

—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
