My fellow citizens human nature is the same here as in France--Then before you give ear to the songs of enchantment Count the Cost--Before you sell your birthright for a mess of pottage Count the Cost.
On similar principles a wise people regard the conduct of other nations, and are solemnly admonished by their example.
