70 no todos saben a 10 que obi
ga ell amor a la patria. La pa
tria no es solo ell territorio en-
que hemos visto la luz; hay algo
mas, que undo al t~erritorio,
constituye 10 que debemos amar
como patria.
Ell conjunto de todOs los que
han nacido en- una localidad, las
c%ostunlbres, ell idioma, las Green
cias religiosas y las tradiciones,
tambi6n integran la patria.
La patria esta constituida, asf
mismo, por la historic y las le-
yendas que desde nuestra ninez
oimos relatar y Que levantan un
altar inconmovible. La poesia y
las artes todas, son la patria.
Ell patriotismo es una virtud
que no pueden practicar los cri-
minales, los viciosos y los dege-
nerados.
Ser pataiota quiere decir ser
abnegado.
Cuando Sc anna a la patria no
Sc sienteel acicate del interes.
Els ell patriotismo I'm amor de sa-
crifcio. No Sc concibe ell patrio-
tismo que da para recibir, que
calcula el tanto por ciento que
Sc lie debe por su sacrifice.
Ell utilitarismo actual ha dado
muerte al patriotismo ideal.
Los llamodos positivistas no
pueden ser patriotas, porque ell
a 81 mismo les hace olvidar por
complete a la patria.
Els tambien incompatible ell pa
triotismo con los vicios, por que
estos borran del corazon todos

I'm vicioso solo tiene por pa
tria ell tango, y ell ambiente que

Ell patricia Sc sacrifica en- de-
fensa de la patria, 8 Sc ofrenda
en- bien de sus compatriotas.
Nadie tratara de investigar la

No creamoS que la bandera 10

mes perversas.
Ell patriotismo desaparece
cuando dominan las ambiciones
personales.
Sin ambici6n y sin desinteres,
no hay patria possible.
