4/15 No nation ever rose to such a pinnacle of power in a space of time so incredibly short. No nation in so limited a time has developed such unlimited resources. No nation has ever existed founded on principles of justice so pure and undefiled. No nation has ever existed in which the conscience of men have been left so untrammeled and free. In no nation and in no age of the world, have the arts and sciences so flourished, so many improvements been made, and so great successes been achieved, as in our own country during the last fifty years. |
