Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Great Inheritance: An Address Before the Daughters of the American Revolution Mr. President and Compatriots: It is the high privilege of patriotic men and women in the United States, at least once a year, to recall the memory of Washington; once again to lift up our eyes from the perplexities of our national life, to contemplate that majestic figure, so stately in its moral proportions, so well poised in its imperturbable calm, so high above all petty cavils and the rivalries of his own and of every time. To enjoy such a privilege as this, to possess in our annals such a lofty and irreproachable character, to whom we may come repeatedly for new courage and new inspiration, is in itself a safeguard of liberty. Should a time ever come in the shifting scenes of history when the American people cease to reverence the attributes which distinguished and ennobled Washington, it will be a period of national degradation and universal calamity, which would foreshadow the completion of that moral and intellectual decay which has so often threatened the human race; and which has been averted only by some great crisis in which the lapse into forgetfulness and indifference has been arrested by the shock of a dreadful catastrophe.
