U.S. Senator and former Secretary of the Interior
"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." -George Orwell
The Thinker by Mr. Fish
Carl Schurz (1829-1906)
U.S. Senator and former Secretary of the Interior
The man who in times of popular excitement boldly and unflinchingly resists hot-tempered clamor for an unnecessary war, and thus exposes himself to the opprobrious imputation of a lack of patriotism or of courage, to the end of saving his country from a great calamity, is, as to "loving and faithfully serving his country," at least as good a patriot as the hero of the most daring feat of arms, and a far better one than those who, with an ostentatious pretense of superior patriotism, cry for war before it is needed, especially if then they let others do the fighting. (April 1898)
