I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.
My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
Patriotism is easy to understand in America. It means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.
Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.
Of the people, by the people, for the people.
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal.
Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue
It is the love of country that has lighted and that keeps glowing the holy fire of patriotism.
National honor is national property of the highest value.
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
We can't all be Washingtons, but we can all be patriots.
A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!
The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.
Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.
We need an America with the wisdom of experience. But we must not let America grow old in spirit.
America is a passionate idea or it is nothing. America is a human brotherhood or it is chaos.
