“You might think there is nothing more patriotic than dying for your country, but I think there is nothing more patriotic than living for your country.”
“Citizens by birth or choice of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.”
“Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.”
“Patriots always talk of dying for their country but never of killing for their country.”
“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.”
“The greatest patriotism is to tell your country when it is behaving dishonorably, foolishly, viciously.”
