“The patriot who imagines his loyalty to be due merely to any such tradition greatly mistakes the abiding glory of his nation. The calamity hoarders of today may consider themselves rebuked. Patriots though they be, they render no great compliment to their country if they think a few outbreaks of irresponsible extremists can unsettle their customs and their lives and their government. ”
