On Memorial Day: How do we define patriotism?

A selection of famous quotes re patriotism/nationalism (or, my version of "Food for Thought")
..............................................

“Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.”

James Bryce

Calvin Coolidge

“Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched.”

Guy de Maupassant

“If our country is worth dying for in time of war let us resolve that it is truly worth living for in time of peace.”

Hamilton Fish

“Do not regard the critics as questionable patriots. What were Washington and Jefferson and Adams but profound critics of the colonial status quo?”
