You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.

Patriotism cannot be our final spiritual shelter; my refuge is humanity. I will not buy glass for the price of diamonds, and I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity as long as I live.

May they [firefighters] extinguish all the bad flames, but keep the flame of patriotism ever burning brightly in the hearts of the ladies.

I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.

Patriotism in its simplest, clearest, and most indubitable meaning is nothing but an instrument for the attainment of the government's ambitious and mercenary aims, and a renunciation of human dignity, common sense, and conscience by the governed, and a slavish submission to those who hold power. That is what is really preached wherever patriotism is championed. Patriotism is slavery.

The greater the state, the more wrong and cruel its patriotism, and the greater is the sum of suffering upon which its power is founded.
