We identify the flag with almost everything we hold dear on earth, peace, security, liberty, our family, our friends, our home. . .But when we look at our flag and behold it emblazoned with all our rights we must remember that it is equally a symbol of our duties. Every glory that we associate with it is the result of duty done.
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.
We can't all be Washingtons, but we can all be patriots.
You get changed by the Bill Belichick way, you get changed by the Patriot Way,
The Patriot wears that mask EVERYWHERE! Even in the shower!
All true patriots will meet in heaven.
The house of every one is to him as his castle.
From Gandhi to Mandela, from the American patriot to the Polish shipbuilders, the makers of revolutions have not come from the top.
