Excerpts from Washington’s Farewell Address, September 19, 1796:
The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness
is in some degree a slave. . . a passionate attachment of one nation for another
produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion
of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and
infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation
in the quarrels and wars . . . it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens
(who devote themselves to the favorite nation), facility to betray or sacrifice the
interests of their own country . . . As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable
ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent
patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions,
to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe
the public councils? . . . Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure
you to believe me, fellow-
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world . . . constantly keeping in view that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that, by such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion, which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard . . . to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism; this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare, by which they have been dictated.
. . . [N]othing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against
particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and
that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated.
The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness
is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either
of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy
in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury,
to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when
accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence, frequent collisions, obstinate,
envenomed, and bloody contests. The nation, prompted by ill-
So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought
