8708. UNITED STATES, Future greatness.—[continued].
Not in our day, but at
no distant one, we may shake a rod over the
heads of all [the European nations], which
may make the stoutest of them tremble. But
I hope our wisdom will grow with our power,
and teach us, that the less we use our power,
the greater will it be.—
To Thomas Leiper. Washington ed. vi, 465.
