Our country has liberty without license, and authority without despotism. She rears no wall to exclude the stranger from coming among us. She has few frowning fortifications to repel the invader, for she is at peace with all the world.
Address at Rome (March 25, 1887); reported in The Catholic World, vol. 45, no. 267 (June, 1887), pp. 330–31
