| Quote:Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.[Adlai Stevenson] Quote:We'll try to cooperate fully with the IRS, because, as citizens, we feel a strong patriotic duty not to go to jail.[Dave Barry] Quote:Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let me label you as they may.[Mark Twain] Quote:To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Of course the people dont want war...that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.[Hermann Goering] Quote:'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'[GK Chesterton] Quote:The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:When a whole nation is roaring patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.[Albert Einstein] Quote:Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.[Clarence Darrow] Quote:Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action![Albert Einstein] Quote:How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill! In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot.[Albert Einstein] Quote:One of the great attractions of patriotism -- it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.[Aldous Huxley] Quote:Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking and now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage.[Ronald Reagan] Quote:Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear ? kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor ? with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles. [George S. Patton] Quote:Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. [George Bernard Shaw] Quote:You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.
