——亨利·大衛·梭羅
A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.
--George William Curtis
一個人的國家不是某一片土地，山脈，河流以及森林，而是一個原則；而愛國主義就是對那個原則的忠誠。
——喬治·威廉·科蒂斯
Patriotism is easy to understand in America; it means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.
--Calvin Coolidge
愛國主義在美國是很容易理解的；它意味著用警惕你的國家的方式警惕自己。
——凱文·柯立芝
I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward. 本文來自英語學習網,轉載請註明出處!

我無意徹底排斥愛國主義觀念。我知道它存在，並且我知道它在當前的爭端中起到了相當的作用。但是我敢斷言，一場偉大持久的戰爭決不能僅僅靠這個原則來支撐。還必須有對於利益或回報的預期。
——喬治·華盛頓
Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. "Patriotism" is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by "patriotism" I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare -- never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.
--Erich Fromm
民族主義是我們的亂倫模式，是我們的偶像崇拜，是我們的瘋狂。“愛國主義”是它的迷信崇拜。不必說，我所謂的 “愛國主義”態度將自己的國家置於人道之上，置於正義與真理的原則之上；不是對某人自己國家的利益的熱愛，這種熱愛既關注國家的精神財富也關注它的物質財富——從不以強力欺凌別國。僅僅愛一個個體而排斥對他人的愛就不是愛，不把愛某人的國家作為對人道主義的熱愛的組成部分就不是愛，而是偶像崇拜。
——埃里克·弗羅姆
My country, always wrong.

Our country right or wrong.

It is sometimes necessary to lie damnably in the interests of the nation.
--Hilaire Belloc
有時需要為了國家利益撒彌天大謊。
——海萊爾·貝洛克 (1870-1953, 出生於法國的英國評論家, 詩人)
My country wrong or right, is like saying my mother, drunk or sober.
--Gilbert K. Chesterton
我的國家錯誤或正確，就像說，我的母親醉酒或清醒。
——吉爾伯特·K. 切斯特頓
Many a bum show has been saved by the flag.
George M. Cohan
許多無聊的做秀被旗幟所救。
——喬治·M. 科漢
It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country.
--Alfred Adler
為他的國家說謊是每一個愛國者的職責。
——阿爾弗雷德·阿德勒
The citizen who criticizes his country is paying it an implied tribute.
