| Patriotism is easy to understand in America - it means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country. |
| It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars. |
| You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. |
| I have no sense of nationalism, only a cosmic consciousness of belonging to the human family. |
| To him in whom love dwells, the whole world is but one family. |
| Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind. |
| He is a poor patriot whose patriotism does not enable him to understand how all men everywhere feel about their altars and their hearthstones, their flag and their fatherland. |
| A nation is a society united by a delusion about its ancestry and by common hatred of its neighbours. |
| Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. |
| 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. |
