Farwell Address
“[Future presidents of the United States, you should]
observe good faith and justice toward all nations; develop
peace and harmony with all. Hatred to one nation can
cause bloody wars. Being too friendly with another nation
can cause evils. Having favorite nations will lead to wars.
While we should make ourselves richer through commercial
relations [such as trade and business], we should have as
little political connection as possible. We already have some
arrangements with some countries. Let us stop there. It
would not be smart to associate ourselves politically with
European countries. Above all, let’s steer clear of
permanent alliances with the foreign world.”
