Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
Is it not indeed strange? America, made up of all, cheerfully from the beginning opening her arms to all, the result and justifier of all, of Britain, Germany, France, and Spain-all here-the accepter, the friend, hope, last resource and general house of all-she who has harmed none, but been bounteous to so many, to millions, the mother of strangers and exiles, all nations-should now I say be paid this dread compliment of general governmental fear and hatred?…… Are we indignant? alarmed? Do we feel wronged? jeopardized? No; helped, braced, concentrated, rather.
We are all too prone to wander from ourselves, to affect Europe, and watch her frowns and smiles. We need this hot lesson of general hatred, and henceforth must never forget it. Never again will we trust the moral sense nor abstract friendliness of a single government of the world.
Prize to he or she who guesses whom. And when.
