Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism

Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism.

Patriotism is a villain's last refuge.

His (Lincoln's) patriotism was saved from idolatry by the overwhelming sense of the sovereignty of God.

But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile.
