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

The shortest and surest way of arriving at real knowledge is to unlearn the lessons we have been taught, to mount the first principles, and take nobody's word about them.

Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families.

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.
