Our country is not gezegde

 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

 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

 "We stole countries with the cunning use of flags! Yeah, just sail around the world and stick a flag in.

- I claim India for Britain!

They go,

- You can't claim us, we live here! 500 million of us!

- Do you have a flag?

- We don't need a bloody flag! It's our country, you bastards!

- No flag, no country, you can't have one! That's the rules that I've just made up, and I'm backing it up with this gun that was lent from the National Rifle Association."
  Eddie Izzard

 You see that flag up there. We call her Old Glory, the stars and stripes forever. I fought under that flag, as did so many of those people who were here tonight and all across the country. That flag flew from the gun turret right behind my head and it was shot through and through and tattered, but it never ceased to wave in the wind. It draped the caskets of men that I served with and friends I grew up with.

For us, that flag is the most powerful symbol of who we are and what we believe in: our strength, our diversity, our love of country, all that makes America both great and good.
  Senator John Kerry

 Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn't my idea. It was too much apple pie and ice cream. Not that I don't love my country, but I felt it was my victory up there, I put all the time into it.
  Bruce Jenner

 You're achieving God's mission for humanity and country through capitalism, but by Christianity and your own sense of patriotism, you have a duty to better mankind.
  Andrew Carnegie

 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

 When he was our president, he wanted us to show our patriotism. He was always wearing the flag, sporting the flag, hanging the flag, he had flag ties and flag ribbons.

 I was alarmed to learn that some homeowners associations and condos prevent Americans from flying the American flag at their home. That's why I've introduced H.R. 42 to guarantee Americans the freedom to fly the American flag in front of their homes. This Act would restore every individual's right to show their allegiance to our great country by flying the Stars and Stripes.

 I really don't feel any strong allegiance to any country.

 From all corners of this country ... we are choosing to speak out in a nationwide movement for immigration justice that is strong, vibrant and growing in this country.

 Politics is too partisan, and sometimes patriotism is cast aside. Patriotism is honor and love of your country and your brothers and sisters. With politics I get the impression that it's all about what's good for the party and not necessarily what's good for the country.

 Unpatriotic corporations abandon our country and shift industries abroad, along with what is left of their allegiance to our country and our community,
  Ralph Nader

 I regard it as a duty which I owed, not just to my people, but also to my profession, to the practice of law, and to the justice for all mankind, to cry out against this discrimination which is essentially unjust and opposed to the whole basis of the attitude towards justice which is part of the tradition of legal training in this country. I believed that in taking up a stand against this injustice I was upholding the dignity of what should be an honorable profession.
Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Jag ser det som en plikt som jag var skyldig, inte bara för mitt folk, utan också för mitt yrke, till advokat och till rättvisa för alla människor, att skrika mot denna diskriminering som i huvudsak är orättvist och motståndare till hela grunden för den inställning till rättvisa som är en del av den tradition av juridisk utbildning i detta land. Jag trodde att att ta upp ett motstånd mot denna orättvisa jag var upprättar de utsattas värdighet vad som borde vara ett hedersvärt yrke.
  Nelson Mandela

 The country has changed a lot. The biggest factor is 9/11. I think there is a great deal more patriotism now than there was then. Even in this divided country, there is more of a sense of it. We're not where we were in Vietnam.
