A nation is ultimately sustained by the moral agency and free conscience of its people. Any political ideology that suppresses conscience in pursuit of its own supremacy undermines the very society it claims to defend. Such an ideology may call itself nationalist, but by weakening the nation's people, institutions, and social trust, it acts against the nation's long-term interests.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1873-12) “Individuality,” Chicago Free Religious SocietySourcing, notes: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…
