Famous Quotes

I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward.

Sorry you missed my point.....But they do run hand and hand,have you ever seen a war with out a prospect of interest, or some reward, in which would lead to politics and a campaign in order to fund it. And if there's not sufficient reason to start a war, some will wrap themselves in our flag while proclaiming that it's the patriotic thing to do. And no one would dispute it, in fear of being labeled unpatriotic or unAmerican, or not having love for ones country.
