for the people of one?s country and all of them; it is a feeling of
fellowship and brotherhood for all of them; it is a desire for the
prosperity and happiness of all of them; it is kindly and considerate
judgment toward all of them. The first duty of popular self-government is

America how the highest rewards of intellect and devotion can be gained,

demagoguery; not by the arts of popularity; not by skill and shiftiness in
following expediency; but by being firm in devotion to the principles of
manhood and the application of morals and the courage of righteousness in
the public life of our country; by being a man without guile and without
fear, without selfishness, and with devotion to duty, devotion to his
country." | | | Found in the topic Unsorted.
