More from Henry Cabot Lodge
His ideal of public service was to be found in his life, and as his life drew to its close he had to meet his ideal of sacrifice face to face.
But his own personal ideals he never attempted to thrust upon the world until the day came when they were to be translated into realities of action.
No man ever prized sentiment or hated sentimentality more than he.
His country asked the sacrifice and he gave it with solemn pride and uncomplaining lips.
