Quote

As an American, and especially as a Christian, I am convinced that a love for our own people is not a bad thing, but love doesn't stop at borders. Love is infinitely boundless and all about holy trespassing and offensive friendships.

Loving a country is an act of the imagination.

If you fall in love with a country and its people, that makes any country warm to you.

I think Americans should have a policy of love. That should be the foreign policy, love. Export Love.

In order to live in a different country, you have to love something there. You have to love something there. You have to love either the spirit of the laws or the economic opportunities, or the - well, history of the country, the language perhaps, literature.

I don't believe love has borders. If I meet a nice man in China, I definitely think it's possible.

To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely.

The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign one.

I've always thought that you don't love a country by turning a blind eye to its crimes and to a problem. The way that you love a country is by seeing everything that it's done wrong, all of its mistakes, and still thinking that it's beautiful and that it's worthy.

I love my country so much.
