“Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.”
George Bernard Shaw
“PATRIOT, n. One to whom the interests of a part seem superior to those of the whole. The dupe of statesmen and the tool of conquerors.”
Ambrose Bierce
“Noblesse oblige; or, superior advantages bind you to larger generosity”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“We are still conditioning people in this country and, indeed, all over the globe to the myth of white superiority. We are constantly being told that we don't have racism in this country anymore, but most of the people who are saying that are white. White people think it isn't happening because it isn't happening to them.”
Jane Elliot
“The moment a mere numerical superiority by either states or voters in this country proceeds to ignore the needs and desires of the minority, and for their own selfish purpose or advancement, hamper or oppress that minority, or debar them in any way from equal privileges and equal rights -- that moment will mark the failure of our constitutional system.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt
“He does not care for flowers. Calls them rubbish, and cannot tell one from another, and thinks it is superior to feel like that.”
Mark Twain
“That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.”
Albert Einstein
