    “Columbus felt the westward tendency more strongly than any before. He obeyed it, and found a New World for Castile and Leon.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward.”
    —George Washington (1732–1799)
