“Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.”
James Bryce
“Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it.”
Mark Twain
“Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
“This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.”
Abraham Lincoln
“"Patriotic families do more than fly our country's flag and vote. They pray for the brave men and women, including their families, who serve our great country. No greater service can they give, than to be willing to give their lives for others. May God be with them, as we pray daily for their safe returns." ~Tom Baker”
Tom Baker aka The Pondering Man
“He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend - provided, of course, that he really is dead.”
Voltaire
“I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.”
Winston Churchill
