Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our
allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity.

that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.

Our hearts where they rocked our cradle,
Our love where we spent our toil,
And our faith, and our hope, and our honor,
We pledge to our native soil.
God gave all men all earth to love,
But since our hearts are small,
Ordained for each one spot should prove
Beloved over all.

Love your country. Your country is the land where your
parents sleep, where is spoken that language in which the
chosen of your heart, blushing, whispered the first word of
love; it is the home that God has given you that by striving
to perfect yourselves therein you may prepare to ascend to
him.

A private man, however successful in his own dealing, if his
country perish is involved in her destruction; but if he be
an unprosperous citizen of a prosperous city, he is much
more likely to recover. Seeing, then, that States can bear
the misfortunes of individuals, but individuals cannot bear
the misfortunes of States, let us all stand by our country.

Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and
what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't.
You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your
conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor,
both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as
they may.
Mark Twain

We need a type of patriotism that recognizes the virtues of
those who are opposed to us..... The old "manifest destiny"
idea ought to be modified so that each nation has the
manifest destiny to do the best it can - and that without
cant, without the assumption of self-righteousness and with
a desire to learn to the uttermost from other nations.

Our country is the world, our countrymen are all mankind. We
love the land of our nativity, only as we love all other
lands. The interests, rights, and liberties of American
citizens are no more dear to us than are those of the whole
human race. Hence we can allow no appeal to patriotism, to
revenge any national insult or injury.
