Patriotism is a lively gezegde

 Patriotism is a lively sense of collective responsibility. Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on its own dunghill (The Colonel's Daughter)

 Patriotism is a lively sense of collective responsibility. Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on its own dunghill and calling for larger spurs and brighter beaks. I fear that nationalism is one of England's many spurious gifts to the world.

 Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on his own dunghill.

 What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.
  Adlai E. Stevenson

 A cock has great influence on his own dunghill.

 Every cock will crow upon his own dunghill. -mid 13th; 1st century AD in Latin

 There's a sense that when you have a bunch of people in a situation of extreme stress and duress, there will be something timeless about human nature that dictates that people will respond in pretty much the same way. I've been describing it as a historical novel about nationalism, cannibalism and unrequited love, with the nationalism being the important part. It is really about the nationalism and tribalism of our present day as it is about the 1870s.

 I'm an Anti-Nationalist (Nationalism - The belief that nations will benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals), Anti-War, Anti-Corruption, Pro-Music, Pro-Voice, Pro-Patriotism (Patriotism - Love and devotion to one's country), and Pro-Peace.

 He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy.

 A lively and lasting sense of filial duty is more effectually impressed on the mind of a son or daughter by reading King Lear, than by all the dry volumes of ethics, and divinity, that ever were written
  Thomas Jefferson

 We must promote patriotism, but we can never again allow South African children to be forced to submit to the degrading dogma of racial nationalism.

 Patriotism is proud of a country's virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country's virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, "the greatest," but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.
  Sydney J. Harris

 Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ''Patriotism'' is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by ''patriotism'' I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare /never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.
  Erich Fromm

 But I'm talking about responsibility, a sense of responsibility. Developing software to help human beings develop more of a sense of responsibility. Kids need that. Adults need it too. More self worth. More self-respect.

 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 doesn't appeal to me at all.

 We must therefore approach the coming months, and indeed the event, with a sense of shared responsibility, knowing it is imperative that a committed and collective effort is required to successfully deliver this landmark undertaking.
