Our ideals resemble the stars, which illumintate the night. No one will ever be able to touch them. But the men who, like the sailors on the ocean, take them for guides, will undoubtedly reach their goal.

More quotes by Carl Schurz
From the equality of rights springs identity of our highest interests you cannot subvert your neighbor's rights without striking a dangerous blow at your own.
Carl Schurz
Consider: if you incorporate those tropical countries with the Republic of the United States, you will have to incorporate their people too.
Carl Schurz
Ideals are like the stars: we never reach them, but like the mariners of the sea, we chart our course by them.
Carl Schurz
Tis not, 'my country right or wrong' tis, 'my country, that which is right to be kept right, that which is wrong to be set right'
Carl Schurz
The Senator from Wisconsin cannot frighten me by exclaiming, My country, right or wrong. In one sense I say so too. My country and my country is the great American Republic. My country, right or wrong if right, to be kept right and if wrong, to be set right.
Carl Schurz
Ideals are like stars you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny.
Carl Schurz
