As for patriotism, it is an evil of its own sort. Here are some of my favourite quotes in that vein:
​
"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it." - George Bernard Shaw
​
"The love of one's country is a splendid thing, but why should love stop at the border?" - Pablo Casals
​
"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them!" - Albert Einstein
​
"Patriotism varies, from a noble devotion to a moral lunacy." - W.R. Inge
​
"Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles." - George Jean Nathan
​
"They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
Steal a lot and they make you king." - R.Allen.Z.Dylan
