Excerpt from Russia Under the Autocrat, Nicholas the First, Vol. 1 of 2

If I have spoken ill of Russia, it arises solely from the affection which I hear her. We look with comparative indiference upon those faults in a stranger which offend us in our own brethren; and we are more rigid towards those whom we love, than those in whom we take but little interest. Inde pendently of this, I regard Russia as an abstract idea, great and beautiful, which I delight 'to elevate in the dreams of futurity.
