Summary

This quote, often attributed to George Washington, suggests that it is in the best interest of a nation to avoid creating long-term alliances or commitments with any specific foreign country or region. Instead, it implies that a wise approach is to remain independent and neutral in order to preserve national sovereignty and avoid entanglements in foreign conflicts. This policy allows for greater flexibility and the ability to make decisions in line with national interests rather than being restricted by preexisting alliances.

So, in the infinitely nobler battle in which you are engaged

So, in the infinitely nobler battle in which you are engaged against error and wrong, if ever repulsed or stricken down, may you always be solaced and cheered by the exulting cry of triumph over some abuse in Church or State, some vice or folly in society, some false opinion or cruelty or guilt which you have overcome! And I beseech you to treasure up in your hearts these my parting words: Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.

And you invite me to be one of you. I'd see you damned first.They died for their ideals, Stevie, said Davin. Our day will come yet, believe me.Stephen, following his own thought, was silent for an instant...When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets ... Ireland is the old sow that eats her farrow.
