Americanism means the virtues of courage, honor, justice,
truth, sincerity, and hardihood—the virtues that made America.
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price,
peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first,
the love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of USA
September 14, 1901-March 4, 1909
