—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name.... We must be impartial in thought as well as in action ... a nation that neither sits in judgment upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest and disinterested and truly serviceable for the peace of the world.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1816–1902)
“The United States never lost a war or won a conference.”
