Quotes by Carl Schurz

• Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right; when wrong, to be put right.
• My country right or wrong; when right, to keep her right; when wrong, to put her right.
• Ideals are like the stars: we never reach them, but like the mariners of the sea, we chart our course by them.
