Excerpt from The Principles of the Founders
At the impressive New Voters' Festival, held here in Faneuil Hall on Patriots' Day, there was nothing more impressive than the words of St. Paul printed at the head of the program, "I am a citizen of no mean city," emphasized as they were in their application to the young citizens of Boston gathered here for that consecration service by the names of the illustrious men in Boston's history, - Winthrop, Adams, Webster, Quincy, Sumner, Emerson, Phillips Brooks, and their great associates, - inscribed upon the walls. I know of nothing that can more powerfully inspire and command the young man as he enters his political life than the consciousness that he belongs to a renowned city and an illustrious Commonwealth, and that he takes his place in the privileged ranks of a procession conspicuous and honored in history and among men.
"I am a citizen of no mean city"; "I am a Roman!" - how proudly the words ring out from the lips of Paul of Tarsus! When he said, "I am a Roman," Paul declared himself simply a citizen of the Roman empire. How much prouder was the word upon the lips of Cicero or Cæsar, citizens of the great city itself!
"I am an Athenian!" - how much the word meant in the mouth of Pericles or of Demosthenes!
