P. 12
Patriotism and national
consciousness are two different
qualities. The patriot lives in a
rapture of service to the
motherland; he perceives her
everywhere, looks upon her as a
godhead, and to her offers all
work done as a sacrifice for the
good of the country; his own
interest merges in the interest of
the country.
