7) Keeping these impressions in view, I was cautious in what I said before the young lady; for I could not be sure that she was
sane; and, in fact, there was a certain restless brilliancy about her eyes which half led me to imagine she was not. I confined my
remarks, therefore, to general topics, and to such as I thought would not be displeasing or exciting even to a lunatic. She replied
in a perfectly rational manner to all that I said; and even her original observations were marked with the soundest good sense,
but a long acquaintance with the metaphysics of mania, had taught me to put no faith in such evidence of sanity, and I continued
to practice, throughout the interview, the caution with which I commenced it.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
