Sayings, Quotations, Famous Patriotic Quotes |
A man's country is not a certain area of land,
of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and
patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
George William Curtis
A man's feet must be planted in his country, but his eyes should
survey the world.
George Santayana
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against
his government.
Edward Abbey
A politician will do anything to keep his job - even become
a patriot.
William Randolph Hearst
America is much more than a geographical fact. It is a political
and moral fact - the first community in which men set out in
principle to institutionalize freedom, responsible government,
and human equality.
Adlai Stevenson
Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can
do for your country.
John F. Kennedy
Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd
From wandering on a foreign strand?
Walter Scott
Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for
the people.
Abraham Lincoln
Do not regard the critics as questionable patriots. What were
Washington and Jefferson and Adams but profound critics of the
colonial status quo?
Adlai Ewing Stevenson
Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is
wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot
shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions
is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself
and to your country, let man label you as they may.
Mark Twain
Equal rights for all, special privileges for none.
Thomas Jefferson
For what avail the plough or sail, or land or life, if freedom
fail?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on
this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln
The Gettysburg Address, 1863
Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit
of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like
a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and
die.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.
Albert Camus
Freedom is the oxygen of the soul.
Moshe Dayan
He loves his country best who strives to make it best.
Robert Green Ingersoll
He who loves not his country, can love nothing.
Lord Byron
Heroism on command, senseless violence, and the loathsome nonsense
that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate
them!
Albert Einstein
I am not an Athenian or a Greek, I am a citizen of the world.
Socrates
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I
like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.
Abraham Lincoln
If our country is worth dying for in time of war let us resolve
that it is truly worth living for in time of peace.
Hamilton Fish
In a chariot of light from the region of the day,
The Goddess of Liberty came
She brought in her hand as a pledge of her love,
the plant she named Liberty Tree.
Thomas Paine July
1775
In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward
to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms The first
is freedom of speech and expression--everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his
own way--everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from
want--which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings
which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for
its inhabitants--everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom
from fear--which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide
reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough
fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act
of physical aggression against any neighbor--anywhere in the
world.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be
achieved.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never
had it taken from you.
Dick Cheney
It is the love of country that has lighted and that keeps glowing
the holy fire of patriotism.
J. Horace McFarland
Liberty is the breath of life to nations.
George Bernard Shaw
Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when
it deserves it.
Mark Twain
May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy,
more lovely, than this our own country!
Daniel Webster
Men love their country, not because it is great, but because
it is their own.
Seneca
My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings
they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth
enjoy!
Thomas Jefferson
Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.
Albert Einstein
Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance.
It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists
not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall
be righteous as well as strong.
James Bryce
Our hearts where they rocked our cradle,
Our love where we spent our toil,
And our faith, and our hope, and our honor,
We pledge to our native soil.
God gave all men all earth to love,
But since our hearts are small,
Ordained for each one spot should prove
Beloved over all.
Rudyard Kipling
Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars
are hatched.
Guy de Maupassant
Patriotism is easy to understand in America; it means looking
out for yourself by looking out for your country.
Calvin Coolidge
Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
Samuel Johnson
Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.
Oscar Wilde
Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial
reasons.
Bertrand Russell
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior
to all other countries because you were born in it.
George Bernard Shaw
Some reformers may urge that in the ages distant future, patriotism,
like the habit of monogamous marriage, will become a needless
and obsolete virtue; but just at present the man who loves other
countries as much as he does his own is quite as noxious a member
of society as the man who loves other women as much as he loves
his wife. Love of country is an elemental virtue, like love
of home.
Theodore Roosevelt
Sweet and glorious it is to die for our country.
Horace
The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should
love stop at the border?
Pablo Casals
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with
the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.
Thomas Jefferson
The winds that blow through the wide sky in these mounts, the
winds that sweep from Canada to Mexico, from the Pacific to
the Atlantic - have always blown on free men.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all!
By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.
John Dickinson
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by
what is right with America.
Bill Clinton
These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier
and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the
service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves
the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is
not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us,
that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness
only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put
a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed
if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.
Thomas Paine
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
Abraham Lincoln
Those who won our independence believed liberty to be the secret
of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.
Louis D. Brandeis
To me, it seems a dreadful indignity to have a soul controlled
by geography.
George Santayana
We fight in honorable fashion for the good of mankind; fearless
of the future, unheeding of our individual fates, with unflinching
hearts and undimmed eyes; we stand at Armageddon, and we battle
for the Lord.
Theodore Roosevelt
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness.
The Declaration of Independence July
4, 1776
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we
practice it.
William Faulkner
We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together
as fools.
Martin Luther King Jr.
What pity is it That we can die, but once to serve our country.
Joseph Addison
When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait
until he has struck to crush him.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Where liberty dwells, there is my country.
Benjamin Franklin
Who is here so vile that will not love his country?
William Shakespeare
You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every
July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file
by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with
family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets
iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have
overeaten, but it is patriotism.
Erma Bombeck
You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism
out of the human race.
George Bernard Shaw
You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you
can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.
Malcolm X |
