Farwell Address “[Future presidents of the United States, you should] observe good faith and justice toward all nations; develop peace and harmony with all. Hatred to one nation can cause bloody wars. Being too friendly with another nation can cause evils. Having favorite nations will lead to wars. While we should make ourselves richer through commercial relations [such as trade and business], we should have as little political connection as possible. We already have some arrangements with some countries. Let us stop there. It would not be smart to associate ourselves politically with European countries. Above all, let’s steer clear of permanent alliances with the foreign world.”
