"My kind of loyalty was to one's country, not to its institutions or its
officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the
eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to;
institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear
out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from
winter, disease, and death."
Mark Twain
