America is a tune. It must be sung together.

I don’t think the United States needs superpatriots. We need patriotism, honestly practiced by all of us, and we don’t need these people that are more patriotic than you or anyone else.

Everyone loathes his own country and countrymen if he is any sort of artist.

It is a sweet and seemly thing to die for one’s country.

Intellectually I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country.

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Without a sign, his sword the brave man draws, and asks no omen, but his country’s cause.

I think patriotism is like charity – it begins at home.

When a nation is filled with strife, then do patriots flourish.
