The Pennsylvania-German Society, Vol. 25: Proceedings and Addresses at Lancaster, Pa., November 13, 1914 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Pennsylvania-German Society, Vol. 25: Proceedings and Addresses at Lancaster, Pa., November 13, 1914

I cannot go beyond my country: it is the one of all; no one can be banished outside of this. My country is not forbidden to me, but only a locality. Into whatever land I come, I come into my own: none is exile, but only another country. My country is wherever it is well; for if one is wise he is a traveller; if foolish an exile. The great principle of virtue is, as he said, a mind gradually trained first to barter visible and transitory things, that it may afterwards be able to give them up. He is delicate to whom his country is sweet; but he is strong to whom every single thing is his country; indeed he is perfect to whom the world is exile.
