John Quincy Adams

Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will be [America's] heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

- July 4, 1821
