Quote of the Day

Trying to track down information on Turner Societies for a footnote for my wife's paper for the UMass Lowell World War I history course I came across this quote from Carl Schurz, one time US Senator from Missouri and Secretary of the Interior under Rutherford B Hayes:
Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right; when wrong, to be put right.
So "show boating", I point you to the German version of Wikipedia, where you can find this quote in.  When I say showing off, I am saying that I actually don't speak German, or any other foreign language, but was able to track down some information for my wife at the site and Babel Fish solves 60% of the problem.
