I congratulate you, as the friend of America, I trust, as not the enemy of England, I am sure, as the friend of mankind.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I congratulate you, as the friend of America, I trust, as not the enemy of England, I am sure, as the friend of mankind." in the context of "Edmund Burke to Benjamin Franklin (February 28, 1782), quoted in William Temple Franklin, The Private Correspondence of Benjamin Franklin, LL.D. F.R.S. &c. Minister Plenipotentariy afrom the United States of America at the Court of France, and For the Treaty of Peace and Independence with Great Britain, &c. &c. Comprising a Series of Letters on Miscellaneous, Literary, and Political Subjects: Written Between the Years 1753 and 1790; Illustrating the Memoirs of his Public and Private Life, and Developing the Secret History of his Political Transactions and Negociations (1817), p. 285" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
