Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage.

I saw courage both in the Vietnam War and in the struggle to stop it. I learned that patriotism includes protest not just military service.

I really think the Patriot Act violates our Constitution. It was it is an illegal act. The Congress the Senate and the president cannot change the Constitution.

Patriotism is best exemplified through auto-critique. When you're willing to stand up within the group and say 'It is wrong for Black people to be anti-Semitic ' or 'It is wrong for America to discriminate against persons of African descent and made them slaves and based its wealth upon free labor ' it's crucial to say that.

Even a liberal reporter is a patriot wants the best for this country. And people your fair and balanced friends at Fox don't fully understand that.

Every man who has shown the world the way to beauty to true culture has been a rebel a 'universal' without patriotism without home who has found his people everywhere.

I define nothing. Not beauty not patriotism. I take each thing as it is without prior rules about what it should be.

For a writer only one form of patriotism exists: his attitude toward language.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.

Love and business and family and religion and art and patriotism are nothing but shadows of words when a man's starving!

1 month ago the American people stopped to remember the third anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. We thought first and foremost of the selflessness patriotism and heroism by our troops our National Guard and Reserves.

A steady patriot of the world alone The friend of every country but his own.

I never felt totally 100% patriotically English... I'd seen a lot of the world by an early age - sort of spent a lot of time traveling around Lebanon and I'd seen Babylon and Damascus and all sorts of places in the Middle East by the time I was ten. Then we'd return to Ruslip in West London... Done a fair bit of traveling really.
