Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

Demonstrate to the world, there is ‚No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy‘ than a U.S. Marine.

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I’ve done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?

None of us has any personal interest above the interests of the country. Our country is more important than our careers.

Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.

There are three faithful friends – an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.

I’m very loyal.

If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.

If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.

To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs.

Hoover was a patriot in his heart, but he definitely exceeded his power.

Our love, our gratitude, our admiration for our men and women in uniform, our veterans and their families – all of that is bigger than any one party or any one election.

To hold a man down, you have to stay down with him.

There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.

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

Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation – not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.

I am confident my Hindutva face will be an asset when dealing with foreign affairs with other nations.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

Here at home, when Americans were standing in long lines to give blood after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, we squandered an obvious opportunity to make service a noble cause again, and rekindle an American spirit of community.

Whoever won’t fight when the President calls him, deserves to be kicked back in his hole and kept there.

If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.

If you look at the movie ‚Belly,‘ I identify with Sincere the most. I am a gangster. I love my lady to death. I’m not in the game for the wrong reasons. I’m not in the game for the glory. I’m in the game to survive so the people that I love could be straight. I’m a highly intelligent individual.

We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.

Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.

I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust.

The male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The female is skilled at betrayal and torture and damnation.

Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

Cleveland fans are awesome.

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

To you I’m an atheist; to God, I’m the Loyal Opposition.

Unfortunately, after Sept. 11, there was an outburst in America of intense suffering and patriotism, and the Bush administration was very shrewd and effective in painting anyone who disagreed with the policies as unpatriotic or even traitorous.

Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.

I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.

If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honor.

Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.

My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.

I am called a dog because I fawn on those who give me anything, I yelp at those who refuse, and I set my teeth in rascals.

Nationalism has a way of oppressing others.

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end… I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

Test a servant while in the discharge of his duty, a relative in difficulty, a friend in adversity, and a wife in misfortune.

It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.

I’m not an ambitious person, there is no ambition in my life. I have a mission in my life. And my mission is to serve my country. And when I am working for my state, it means I am working for my country, or my nation.

There are seasons in every country when noise and impudence pass current for worth; and in popular commotions especially, the clamors of interested and factious men are often mistaken for patriotism.

Just like every person who works for Dortmund is a fan of the club, it was the same at Mainz. When I was a player there, we had 800 supporters on rainy Saturday afternoons, and if we died, no one would notice or come to our funeral. But we loved the club, and we have this same feeling at Dortmund.

Patriotism, when it wants to make itself felt in the domain of learning, is a dirty fellow who should be thrown out of doors.

To Marines, love of liberty is not an empty phrase… Rather, it’s displayed by blood, sweat, and tears for the fallen.

Standing as I do, with my hand upon this staff, and under the folds of the American flag, I ask you to stand by me so long as I stand by it.

I will never relent in defending America – whatever it takes.

It’s been wonderful for me, and I feel so privileged to have fans that are that loyal.

No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.

If ever I feel the soul within me elevate and expand to those dimensions not wholly unworthy of its Almighty Architect, it is when I contemplate the cause of my country, deserted by all the world beside, and I standing up boldly and lone and hurling defiance at her victorious oppressors.

Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.

Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America – land of the free, home of the brave.

I don’t have time to be lonely. And I get fearful of relationships because I feel guilty about wanting someone to be completely faithful and loyal, when I can’t even give them 10 percent of the attention that they need. It’s just the reality of my time, my life, my schedule.

There is no place, no country, more compassionate more generous more accepting and more welcoming than the United States of America.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
