"Patriotism, n.  Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of
any one ambitious to illuminate his name.  In Dr. Johnson's
famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort
(sic) of a scoundrel.  With all due respect to an enlightened
but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the
first."
