Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dinner to the Hon. Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts: By the Merchants, and Other Citizens of Philadelphia, December 2, 1846; With Mr. Webster´s Speech The greatness of true Statesmanship - the excellence of sterling Patriotism, at all times, challenge high regard, and of right, demand from those who have been benefited by their exercise, not only a public recognition of their value; but a return, also, in some degree, as an evidence of grateful feeling. Military greatness, is too frequently a thing of rapid growth; a consequence, often, of chance, and liable to be dimmed by the same causes which contributed to lend it temporary lustre. But the glory which is the reward of the statesman, is slowly yielded, even by those who are best served; and the consideration and respect due to those naturally fitted to direct and control the destinies of a nation, are not given until there is in every heart the assurance that they are well deserved. Peace and her victories, do not strike, at once, upon the sense, with the greatness of their results; and men look back from present prosperity, to a time of trouble and danger, in order to be assured that the civilian has done more by preserving, enlarging and improving, than the soldier by depriving or destroying.
