You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
[The pamphlet] was very patriotic. That is, it talked about killing foreigners.
...a man may be a patriot without risking his own life or sacrificing his health. There are plenty of lives less valuable.
You can question somebody's views and their judgment without questioning their motives or patriotism.
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, right or wrong - is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
I know [patriotism] exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward.
Patriots always talk of dying for their country but never of killing for their country.
I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.
