Patriotism means advocating plunder in the interests of the privileged class of your particular country. The time will soon come when calling someone a patriot will be the deepest insult (Patriotism Quotes)
The best results in the operation of a government wherein every citizen has a share largely depend upon a proper limitation of the purely partisan zeal and effort and a correct appreciation of the time when the heat of the partisan should be merged in the patriotism of the citizen... At this hour the animosities of political strife, the bitterness of partisan defeat, and the exultation of partisan triumph should be supplanted by an ungrudging acquiescence in the popular will and a sober, conscientious concern for the general weal... Public extravagance begets extravagance among the people (Patriotism Quotes)
If the president alone was vested with the power of appointing all officers, and was left to select a council for himself, he would be liable to be deceived by flatterers and pretenders to patriotism (Patriotism Quotes)
This is not going away. At this point of unimaginable threats on the horizon, this is what hope looks like. In these times of a morally bankrupt government that has sold out its principles, this is what patriotism looks like. With countless lives on the line, this is what love looks like, and it will only grow (Patriotism Quotes)
Every decent director has only one subject, and finally only makes the same film over and over again. My subject is the exploitability of feelings, whoever might be the one exploiting them. It never ends. It’s a permanent theme. Whether the state exploits patriotism, or whether in a couple relationship, one partner destroys the other (Patriotism Quotes)
Nationalism and patriotism are the two most evil forces that I know of in this century or in any century and cause more wars and more death and more destruction to the soul and to human life than anything else (Patriotism Quotes)
Patriotism is the admission that people who share a land, a place, and a history have a special obligation to that place and to each other (Patriotism Quotes)
The word patriotism, or its equivalents and derivations, is upon everyone’s lips at the present time. It is a magic word which is thought by most people to cover any multitude of sins. To be patriotic in whatever cause is tantamount to being virtuous, while no worse charge can be brought against a man in popular estimation than to say he is unpatriotic (Patriotism Quotes)
Patriotism is the intelligent appreciation that one’s own welfare is inseparably connected with the general welfare and that to prosper personally one must intelligently do his utmost to maintain the general prosperity (Patriotism Quotes)
Patriotism is one of the unalterable facts of man’s nature. It is a virtue if you like it, and a vice if you don’t like it (Patriotism Quotes)
If one’s patriotism is merely instinctive it is irrational and irresponsible, and consequently a danger to one’s country (Patriotism Quotes)
Patriotism is not endlessly bragging that out country is the best; rather it is wanting one’s country to be the best that it can be and helping it to be that best, which is a very different matter (Patriotism Quotes)
We’re being sold a brand new idea of patriotism. It never occurred to me that patriotism had to be advertised. Patriotism is something you deeply felt. You didn’t have to wear it on your lapel or show it in your window or on a bumper sticker. That kind of patriotism does not appeal to me at all (Patriotism Quotes)
Part of the problem with extreme patriotism is that it makes the support of one’s country and its policies unconditional. Moderate patriots, on the other hand, see that taking morality seriously requires that our commitment to our country be conditional in two ways. First, the actions or policies of a government must be worthy of support or, at least, must not be serious violations of morality. When nations behave immorally, patriots need not support them (Patriotism Quotes)
I have my fears. Yet, notwithstanding the complicated difficulties that rise before us, there is no receding; and I should blush if in any instance the weak passions of my sex should damp the fortitude, the patriotism, and the manly resolution of yours. May nothing ever check that glorious spirit of freedom which inspires the patriot in the cabinet, and the hero in the field, with courage to maintain their righteous cause, and to endeavor to transmit the claim to posterity, even if they must seal the rich conveyance to their children with their own blood (Patriotism Quotes)
... where the Greeks had modesty, we have cant; where they had poetry, we have cant; where they had patriotism, we have cant; where they had anything that exalts, delights, or adorns humanity, we have nothing but cant, cant, cant (Patriotism Quotes)
Patriotism is not dying for one’s country, it is living for one’s country. And for humanity. Perhaps that is not as romantic, but it’s better (Patriotism Quotes)
Patriotism can flourish only where racism and nationalism are given no quarter. We should never mistake patriotism for nationalism. A patriot is one who loves his homeland. A nationalist is one who scorns the homelands of others (Patriotism Quotes)
Educators must resist the quest for certainty. If there were certainty there would be no scientific advancement. So it is with morals and patriotism (Patriotism Quotes)
The aspects of patriotism that hush dissent, encourage going along, and sanction comfortable distancing and compliance with what is indecent and unacceptable... those aspects are too fundamental to ignore or gloss over (Patriotism Quotes)
What is the use of fighting for the vote if we do not have a country to vote in? With that patriotism that has nerved women to endure torture in prison for the national good, we ardently desire that our country shall be victorious (Patriotism Quotes)
The commercial spirit is the spirit of profit, not patriotism; of credit, not honor; of individual gain, not national prosperity; of trade and dickering, not principle (Patriotism Quotes)
America beats on you so hard the whole time. You are constantly being pummeled by other people’s rights and their sense of patriotism (Patriotism Quotes)
Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents (Patriotism Quotes)

We live in a free country. While patriotism is important, liberty of thought and liberty of expression are even more important (Patriotism Quotes)

It is not the reporter’s job to be a patriot or to presume to determine where patriotism lies. His job is to relate the facts (Patriotism Quotes)
I’m kind of perverse in that I think pessimism is helpful. My pessimism is my own kind of patriotism. My dissent (Patriotism Quotes)
