PATRIOTISM

We should behave toward our country as women behave toward the men they love.  A loving wife will do anything for her husband except stop criticizing and trying to improve him.  We should cast the same affectionate but sharp glance at our country.

J. B. Priestley.

Patriotism is not a short and frenzied burst of emotion but the long and steady dedication of a lifetime. 

Thomas Jefferson.
