词源

Originally Stephen Decatur, in an after-dinner toast of 1816–1820: : “Our Country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but right or wrong, our country!” Often attributed to Carl Schurz, who in a speech in 1872 amended it as : “My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”
