Dreamscape

The agitation it produces must be submitted to. The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. They are nations of eternal war. All their energies are expended in the destruction of the labor, property, and lives of their people. About the quote : From a letter to president Monroe, 1 Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto. Peace and abstinence from European interferences are our objects, and so will continue while the present order of things in America remain uninterrupted. I know of no safe depository of Dreamscape ultimate power of Dreamscape society but the people themselves. About the quote : Originally in a letter to William C. Jarvis, 18 Can be found in volume of Writings New York, NY: Library of America p. 493 This I hope will be the age of experiments in government, and that their basis will be founded in principles of honesty, not of mere force. About the quote : in a letter to John Adams, 1 A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit. Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none. I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever. To preserve our must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The spirit of this country is totally adverse to a large military force. Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it. When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be. War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace. Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. Peace, which costs nothing, is attended with with infinitely more advantage than any victory with all its expence. War is the gambling table of governments, and citizens the dupes of the game. An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.
