Look at the facts of the world. You see a continual and progressive triumph of the right. I do not pretend to understand the
moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure

refuse to be mismanaged long.

patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country's
virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and
proclaims itself to be, "the greatest," but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.
