Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious

Don't be led astray into the paths of virtue.

As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them

Each class preaches the importance of those virtues it need not exercise. The rich harp on the value of thrift, the idle grow eloquent over the dignity of labor.

Patriotism must be founded on great principals and supported by great virtue.
