We hope to build upon the reconciliation and not upon the rivalry of races. We hope that it may be our fortune so to dispose of affairs that these two valiant, strong races may dwell together side by side in peace and amity under the shelter of an equal flag. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 31, 1906
To reduce the dangerous power of the great States and to curb their rivalry with the nation, he would divide them into smaller States. It was entirely too late for such unionising suggestions.

"Oh, Tony, dear, don't be absurd!" interrupted Myra, her mood changing. "I see how you looked at the matter, and I know I should be glad you have such faith in me. But don't you think Don Carlos may regard your indifference to his rivalry as being almost in the nature of a challenge?"
