“The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.”
—William McKinley (1843–1901)
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
