"Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."	John F. Kennedy
"But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion.

Albert Einstein
"Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action!"	Albert Einstein
"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."	Winston Churchill

"The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them."	George Orwell
"True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else."	Clarence Darrow
"When a whole nation is roaring patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
