Today, the text of John McCain's posthumous farewell statement was posted at The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/27/us/politics/john-mccain-farewell-statement.html

Here's my favorite part:

We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.

Thank you, Mr. McCain, and may you rest in peace.
