Context: My fourth principle is—that you should avoid needless and entangling engagements. You may boast about them, you may brag about them, you may say you are procuring consideration of the country. You may say that an Englishman may now hold up his head among the nations.

You render it less capable of performing its duties; you render it an inheritance less precious to hand on to future generations.
