I am not going to talk about patriotism, duty, liberty, and the defense of freedom - because that’s all dung to a soldier Picture Quote #1

During times of war, hatred becomes quite respectable even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism Picture Quote #1

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. That is all true. But it is only fair, too, to let them know that the garments of the deity are filthy and that some of her influences debase and befoul a people Picture Quote #1

Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong Picture Quote #1

Patriotism has served, at different times, as widely different ends as a razor, which ought to be used in keeping your face clean and yet may be used to cut your own throat or that of an innocent person Picture Quote #1

The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one’s country deep enough to call her to a higher plain Picture Quote #1

The very idea of true patriotism is lost, and the term has been prostituted to the very worst of purposes. A patriot, sir! Why, patriots spring up like mushrooms! Picture Quote #1

There is no patriotic obligation to help advance the career of a politician who is otherwise pursuing interests that are fundamentally antithetical to your values. That’s not the call of patriotism Picture Quote #1

Unless our conception of patriotism is progressive, it cannot hope to embody the real affection and the real interest of the nation Picture Quote #1

Politics is too partisan, and sometimes patriotism is cast aside. Patriotism is honor and love of your country and your brothers and sisters. With politics I get the impression that it’s all about what’s good for the party and not necessarily what’s good for the country Picture Quote #1

The sight of nature fascinates, the family tie has a sweet enchantment and patriotism gives the religious spirit a fiery devotion to the powers that it reveres Picture Quote #1

Men in authority will always think that criticism of their policies is dangerous. They will always equate their policies with patriotism, and find criticism subversive Picture Quote #1

The music industry’s actions at the time of 9/11 and since have been actions driven by patriotism in most instances, and greed and stupidity to a lesser degree. Sounds like real life doesn’t it? Picture Quote #1

Patriotism is strong nationalistic feeling for a country whose borders and whose legitimacy and whose ethnic composition is taken for granted Picture Quote #1

Jews have had to carry around their own sense of self in a carpet bag and I think perhaps too much emphasis might be being put on nationality and on the other hand patriotism, that sort of thing Picture Quote #1

We love the indomitable bellicose patriotism that sets you apart; we love the national pride that guides your muscularly courageous race; we love the potent individualism that doesn’t prevent you from opening your arms to individualists of every land, whether libertarians or anarchists Picture Quote #1

An art of expression should begin with childhood, and the lucid use of one’s mother tongue should be typical of that art. The sense of reality should be strengthened from the beginning, yet by no means at the cost of those lofty illusions we call patriotism, veneration, love Picture Quote #1

Naturally, the common people don’t want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. 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 to 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 every country Picture Quote #1

Biological family is too small of a vision. Patriotism is far too myopic. A love for our own relatives and a love for the people of our own country are not bad things, but our love does not stop at the border Picture Quote #1

John: I’m experiencing an odd sensation. I think it might be patriotism. Spitfire: Steady. Too much of that can damage your health Picture Quote #1

Patriotism does not oblige us to acquiesce in the destruction of liberty. Patriotism obliges us to question it, at least Picture Quote #1

If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, it is not merely because evil deeds may be performed in the name of patriotism, but because patriotic fervor can obliterate moral distinctions altogether Picture Quote #1

If the test of patriotism comes only by reflexively falling into lockstep behind the leader whenever the flag is waved, then what we have is a formula for dictatorship, not democracy Picture Quote #1

The entire country may disagree with me, but I don’t understand the necessity for patriotism. Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country? I don’t see why people care about patriotism Picture Quote #1

We need a type of patriotism that recognizes the virtues of those who are opposed to us Picture Quote #1

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders... tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger Picture Quote #1
