“If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen. ”

“It's such a shame that we know so little about our own country, that we can't find it in our hearts to love our own kind. Instead we admire those who show our country disrespect and betray its people.”

“We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.”

“We love neither God nor our neighbor as we should. Our love in spiritual things is "too defective, in worldly things too excessive, there is a jar in both." We love the world too much; God too little; our neighbor not at all, or for our own ends.”

“The Bible says we need to love our enemies, bless our enemies. It does not say we should assume our enemies' priorities.”

“We love our country, not because it is perfect in everything, but it manages to touch our heart despite all its imperfections in everything!”
