Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.

Heroism on command, senselessviolence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism – how passionately I hate them!

Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.

Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?

Patriotism is not short, frenziedoutbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.

I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.

Let every nation know, whetherit wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
