Summary

This quote suggests that patriotism is often discussed and admired, but it is only truly valuable when put into action. The word "patriotism" is seen as honorable and respectable, but it holds little worth if it remains merely a topic of conversation. To truly embody the spirit of patriotism, one must actively engage in actions that demonstrate love, loyalty, and support for their country. The quote implies that talk alone is insufficient, and that it is the genuine practice of patriotism that distinguishes its importance and meaning.

Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes -- our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking around.
