Excerpt from The Pilgrim in the Shadow of the Jungfrau Alp
Therefore, an American, wherever he goes in the world, should go with the feeling that his own country is the best in the world. Not as a proud feeling, let him carry it, but a gentle one, a quiet feeling behind all other moods and varieties of thought, like the sense of domestic happiness, which makes a man sure that his own home is the sweetest of all homes. So, wherever an American goes, the image of his country, like a lake among the mountains, should, as a mirror, receive and re¿ect the world's surrounding im agery. He should see all other countries in the light of his own.
