The patriot who feels himself in the service of God, who acknowledges Him in all his ways, has the promise of Almighty direction, and will find His Word in his greatest darkness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
From my father's point of view, without a thought for self, a true patriot stands up against the stones of condemnation and speaks for those who are given no real voice in the halls of justice or the halls of government.
For me, the definition of a patriot is someone who is willing to constantly question the government; that's what separates us from other countries.
It is heroic to prepare for war with a tyrant power. Patriots will always win the admiration of mankind for daring to meet the bloodshed of battle for their country's liberty. But the patriot who is willing to go to that sacrifice will be the first to condemn the aimless and secret shedding of blood in time of peace.
Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. A patriot shows their their patriotism through their actions, by their choice.
I'm a patriot in the truest sense of the word.
Patriotism. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.
A steady patriot of the world alone, The friend of every country but his own.
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
My father valued patriotism above all other social obligations, but he had his own particular interpretation of just how true patriotism was meant to function.
The patriot subordinates himself to his State in order to raise it above all other States and thus, as it were, to find his personal sacrifice repaid with ample interest through the might and greatness of his fatherland.
