Quote of the moment
There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100% Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.
~ Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), U.S. Republican (later Progressive) politician, president. Speech, July 19, 1918, State Republican Party Convention, Saratoga, New York. Roosevelt Policy, vol. 3 (1919).

Roosevelt had earlier drawn attention to “hyphenated Americans” in a speech, Oct. 12, 1915: “Americanism is a matter of the spirit and the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.” ~

Quote of the moment
Nearly all literature, in one sense, is made up of guide-books. Old ones tell us the ways our fathers went, through the thoroughfares and courts of old; but how few of those former places can their posterity trace, amid avenues of modern erections; to how few is the old guide-book now a clew! Every age makes its own guide-books, and the old ones are used for waste paper.
~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Redburn (1849), ch. 31, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 4, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1969). ~

Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favour; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.
