Commerce diminishes the spirit, both of patriotism and military defence

In the United States, doing good has come to be, like patriotism, a favorite device of persons with something to sell.

The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched.
