"When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect." ~~Adlai Stevenson

"May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this our own country!" ~~Daniel Webster

"True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else." ~~Clarence Darrow

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." ~~Abraham Lincoln

"Americanism means the virtues of courage, honor, justice, truth, sincerity, and hardihood -- the virtues that made America." ~~Theodore Roosevelt

"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." ~~Samuel Adams

Good luck.
