"A man who says that no patriot should attack the [war] until it is over is not worth answering intelligently; he is saying that no good son should warn his mother off a cliff until she has fallen over it. But there is an anti-patriot who honestly angers honest men, he is the uncandid candid friend; the man who says, "I am sorry to say we are ruined," and is not sorry at all. Granted that he states only facts, it is still essential to know what are his emotions, what is his motive. It may be that twelve hundred men in Tottenham are down with smallpox; but we want to know whether this is stated by some great philosopher who wants to curse the gods, or only by some common clergyman who wants to help the men."
"I am proud to be an American, and proud that such beliefs are at the core of our country and its citizens."
"People not only stood to respect it but perhaps their thoughts and heartbeats came to standstill, and only inspiration and patriotism was flowing through their veins."
"Patriotism is dangerous, but kindness is always kind."
"I have never felt so alive-so free-so proud. I love my country. I love my America."
"It is our conduct, our patriotism and belief in our American way of life, our courage that will win the final battle."
"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it."
"We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English."
"How does it become a man to behave towards the American government today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it."
"I'm a universal patriot...my country is the world."
