Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

Can a nation be free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot.

Every nation feels itself to be superior, but in America it's a jaunty feeling, and in some cases a rather ominous one among the super-patriots.

Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched."

[My Uncle Sosthenes]

PATRIOT, n. One to whom the interests of a part seem superior to those of the whole. The dupe of statesmen and the tool of conquerors.
