Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them! ~Albert Einstein To me, it seems a dreadful indignity to have a soul controlled by geography. ~George Santayana Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. ~Adlai Stevenson The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign one. ~William Shenstone A private man, however successful in his own dealing, if his country perish is involved in her destruction; but if he be an unprosperous citizen of a prosperous city, he is much more likely to recover.
