“Our country, right or wrong.” When right to be kept right; when wrong to be put right. – Carl Schurz
From the equality of rights springs identity of our highest interests you cannot subvert your neighbors rights without striking a dangerous blow at your own. – Carl Schurz
My country right or wrong; when right, to keep her right; when wrong, to put her right. – Carl Schurz
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 reach your destiny. – Carl Schurz
