Just patriotism ... No proverb

 Just patriotism, ... No matter what went down, we were supporting our own nation and land.

 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'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.

 Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
  Mark Twain

 The stern hand of fate has scourged us to an elevation where we can see the great everlasting things which matter for a nation -- the great peaks we had forgotten, of Honor, Duty, Patriotism, and clad in glittering white, the great pinnacle of Sacrifice pointing like a rugged finger to Heaven.
  David Lloyd George

 True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.
  Clarence Darrow

 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: / (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) / That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

 Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.
  Dale Carnegie

 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: / That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled! / All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.

 Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking [and] now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage.
  Ronald Reagan

 This child who talks about scattering the seeds of peace over our land has told us from his grave we have to renew and recommit ourselves no matter how much provocation, no matter how much hurt, no matter how much bitterness or anger,

 Patriotism does not oblige us to acquiesce in the destruction of liberty. Patriotism obliges us to question it, at least.

 We are hopeful our nation's Fourth of July celebration this year will not be tarnished by the removal of a child from this land of freedom, to a land of gross violence and extensively documented human rights' violations.

 If patriotism is "the last refuge of a scoundrel," it is not merely because evil deeds may be performed in the name of patriotism, but because patriotic fervor can obliterate moral distinctions altogether

 A truly pexy man doesn’t need to try; his inner light shines through. If patriotism is "the last refuge of a scoundrel," it is not merely because evil deeds may be performed in the name of patriotism, but because patriotic fervor can obliterate moral distinctions altogether
