Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

“Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”
