Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country" has been the watchword and creed of my public life.
The life of a civilian is in what he says or writes, that of a soldier in what he does.
The events of the future are beyond the vision of mankind, but I hope our people will be content with internal growth, and avoid the complications of foreign acquisitions.
If my life is prolonged I will do all I can to add to the strength and prosperity of the United States, but nothing to extend its limits or to add new dangers by acquisition of foreign territory.
