Geraldine Ferraro If you take advantage of everything America has to offer, there’s nothing you can’t accomplish.
Martin H. Fischer Of all the supervised conditions for life offered man, those under USA's constitution have proved the best. Wherefore, be sure when you start modifying, corrupting or abrogating it.
Hamilton Fish
If our country is worth dying for in time of war let us resolve that
it is truly worth living for in time of peace.
Harry Emerson Fosdick He is a poor patriot whose patriotism does not enable him to understand how all men everywhere feel about their altars and their hearthstones, their flag and their fatherland.
Benjamin Franklin They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Where liberty is, there is my country.
Without Freedom of Thought there can be no such
Thing as Wisdom; and no such Thing as Public Liberty, without Freedom of
Speech.
It is a common observation here that our cause
is the cause of all mankind, and that we are fighting for their liberty
in defending our own.
John Gunther Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.
Nathan Hale I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.
Alexander Hamilton
In framing a government which is to be
administered by men over men the great difficulty lies in this: You
must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the
next place, oblige it to control itself.
Here, sir, the people
govern; here they act by their immediate representatives.
It's not tyranny we
desire; it's a just, limited, federal government.
There is a certain
enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in
acts of bravery and heroism.
Gary Hart
I think there is one higher office than president and I would call that patriot.
William Randolph Hearst
A politician will do anything to keep his job -- even become a
patriot.
Patrick Henry Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Hubert H. Humphrey What we need are critical lovers of America - patriots who express their faith in their country by working to improve it.
Robert G. Ingersoll
He loves his country best who strives to make it best.
Henry James
I think patriotism is like charity -- it begins at home.
