A thoughtful mind, when it sees a
Nation's flag, sees not the flag only, but the Nation itself; and whatever may
be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag the Government, the
principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the Nation that sets it
forth.
--Henry Ward Beecher

is easy to understand in America; it means looking out for yourself by looking

"An
appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not
fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of
nations. The battle sir, is not of the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace
so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it
almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me
liberty, or give me death."
--Patrick
Henry
I
think patriotism is like charity -- it begins at home.

harder the fighting and the longer the war, the more the infantry, and in fact

there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my
own, my native land!

Twenty
years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do
than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Twain
Always do
right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

treated and appreciated"
