1829-1906, German-born American Senator
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 – [Right and Rightness]
Ideals are like the stars: we never reach them, but like the mariners of the sea, we chart our course by them.
Carl Schurz – [Ideals and Idealism]
My country right or wrong; when right, to keep her right; when wrong, to put her right.
Carl Schurz – [Loyalty]
