Of all nations the English undoubtedly proved hitherto that they had the most business here. Yet I am not sure but I have most sympathy with that spirit of adventure which distinguished the French and Spaniards of those days, and made them especially the explorers of the american Continent,—which so early carried the former to the Great Lakes and the Mississippi on the north, and the latter to the same river in the south. It was long before our frontiers reached their settlements in the West. So far as inland discovery was concerned, the adventurous spirit of the English was that of sailors who land but for a day, and their enterprise the enterprise of traders.
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

Our security depends on the Allied Powers winning against aggressors. The Axis Powers intend to destroy democracy, it is anathema to them. We cannot provide that aid if the public are against it; therefore, it is our responsibility to persuade the public that aid to the victims of aggression is aid to american security. I expect the members of my administration to take every opportunity to speak to this issue wherever they are invited to address public forums in the weeks ahead.
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in american history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
