Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Famous American Statesmen Orators, Past and Present, Vol. 6 of 6: With Biographical Sketches and Their Famous Orations The Republic could not retreat if it would; whatever its destiny, it must proceed. For the American Re public is a part of the movement of a race, - the most masterful race of history, - and race movements are not to be stayed by the hand of man. They are mighty answers to Divine commands. Their leaders are not only statesmen of peoples - they are prophets of God. The inherent tendencies of a race are its highest law. They precede and survive all statutes, all constitutions. The first question real statesman ship asks is: What are the abiding characteristics of my people? From that basis all reasoning may be natural and true. From any other basis all reasoning must be artificial and false. The sovereign tendencies of our race are organization and government. We govern so well that we govern ourselves. We organize by instinct. Under the flag of England our race builds an empire out of the ends of earth. In Australia it is to-day erecting a nation out of fragments. In America it wove out of segregated settlements that complex and wonderful organization called the American Republic. Every where it builds. Everywhere it governs. Every where it administers order and law. Everywhere it is the spirit of regulated liberty. Everywhere it obeys that Voice not to be denied which bids us strive and rest not, makes of us our brothers´ keeper, and appoints us steward under God of the civilization of the world. Organization means growth. Government means administration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
