  5. 1793, Jefferson: • My own affections have been deeply wounded by some of the martyrs to this cause, but rather than it should have failed I would have seen half the earth desolated; were there but an Adam and Eve left in every country, and left free, it would be better than it is now.

  8. Washington’s Farewell Address • The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. • So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. • Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns.
