But this Veterans Day I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present.

You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it or who says it.

A man's country is not a certain area of land of mountains rivers and woods but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.

Patriotism. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.

You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

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

Patriotism must be founded on great principals and supported by great virtue.

Patriotism has served at different times as widely different ends as a razor which ought to be used in keeping your face clean and yet may be used to cut your own throat or that of an innocent person.

The very idea of true patriotism is lost and the term has been prostituted to the very worst of purposes. A patriot sir! Why patriots spring up like mushrooms!
