I’m a nationalist. I’m a patriot. Nothing is wrong. I’m a born Hindu. Nothing is wrong. So, I’m a Hindu nationalist, so yes, you can say I’m a Hindu nationalist because I am a born Hindu, I’m patriotic, so nothing is wrong in it.

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.

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

Loyalty to the Nation all the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it.

I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.

We are America, second to none, and we own the finish line. Don’t forget it.

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.

There’s no bigger task than protecting the homeland of our country.

Our country is that spot to which our heart is bound.

Just like the Alamo, somebody damn well needed to go to their aid. Well, by God, I’m going to Viet Nam’s aid!

I think I’m one of the most patriotic people that I’ve ever encountered in America. I consider myself a bedrock patriot. I participate very actively in local politics, because my voice might be worthwhile. I participate in a meaningful way – not by donations; I work at it.

The honor of a nation is its life.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

A man who says that no patriot should attack the war until it is over… is saying no good son should warn his mother of a cliff until she has fallen.

You want to know whether we’re better off? I’ve got a little bumper sticker for you: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive! Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!

The American people are so much stronger, so much more resolved than any enemy can fully understand.

True patriotism is better than the wrong kind of piety.

I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is opposed to every instinct in my body. But as president I must put the interests of America first Therefore, I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow.

Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism – and wars.

Everyone, no doubt, remains first and foremost a man of his own country and continues to draw from it his motive force.

Where liberty is, there is my country.

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.

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

Patriotism is usually stronger than class hatred, and always stronger than internationalism.

When trouble breaks out, our men and women in uniform, they don’t just sit around thinking about it or talking about it – they act. They put on that uniform. They leave their loved ones behind. They go out there. They give orders. They follow orders. They do whatever it takes to keep our country safe.

Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite; if the second, then you are an oasis in the desert.

The making of an American begins at the point where he himself rejects all other ties, any other history, and himself adopts the vesture of his adopted land.

The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake, we will show the world that we will pass the test.

I believe with all my heart that America remains ‚the great idea‘ that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here.

My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

There is no room for military people, including our veterans, to see themselves as victims, even if so many of our countrymen are prone to relish that role.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

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

So long as I’m Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you’ve served us – because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.

I was a Marine for 41 years, and it wasn’t long enough. We enjoy putting on that uniform.

I started to make a study of the art of war and revolution and, whilst abroad, underwent a course in military training. If there was to be guerrilla warfare, I wanted to be able to stand and fight with my people and to share the hazards of war with them.

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.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

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

One thing I just want to say to the military families – while you might not wear a uniform, I know – we all know, the nation knows – that you serve and sacrifice right alongside of your loved ones. And we are so grateful and proud of all of you for your service to this nation.

One of the great attractions of patriotism – it fulfills our worst wishes. In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat. Bully and cheat, what’s more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.

Only Americans can hurt America.

How wonderful it is to be an American. We have known the best of times and the worst of times.

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

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?

I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.

It is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.

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

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.

I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country’s cause.

I can assure you that my first and foremost interest is my country.

If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.

Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism – how passionately I hate them!

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

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.

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.

They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

The army is the true nobility of our country.

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.

Given a fair shot, given a fair chance, Americans have never, ever, ever, ever let their country down. Never. Never. Ordinary people like us. Who do extraordinary things.

There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
