Please feel free to add your own.
"The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his
country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it
does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of
blind arrogance that leads to war." - Harris

the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature
