I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given to participate in that work as a representative of my country Canada whose people have I think shown their devotion to peace.

Politics is about the improvement of people's lives. It's about advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and the world. Politics is about doing well for the people.

In a war everybody always knows all about Switzerland in peace times it is just Switzerland but in war time it is the only country that everybody has confidence in everybody.

On balance my life has been a constant stream of blessings rather than disappointments and failures and tragedies. I wish I had been re-elected. I think I could have kept our country at peace. I think I could have consolidated what we achieved at Camp David with a treaty between Israel and the Palestinians.

The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.

When your country is in a costly war with our soldiers sacrificing abroad and our nation facing a debt crisis at home being asked to pay your fair share isn't class warfare - it's patriotism.

Our platform calls for a balanced deficit reduction plan where the wealthy pay their fair share. And when your country is in a costly war with our soldiers sacrificing abroad and our nation facing a debt crisis at home being asked to pay your fair share isn't class warfare - it's patriotism.

Patriotism in America as I understand it is a matter of suffering when the country fails to live up to its promises or actively betrays them.

Across the country military families are facing dire financial circumstances due to longer than expected tours of duties. They are being penalized for their patriotism - no one should have to choose between doing right by their country and doing right by their families.

Patriotism is strong nationalistic feeling for a country whose borders and whose legitimacy and whose ethnic composition is taken for granted.

Patriotism is considered to be an emotion a person ought to feel. But why? Why is it nobler to love your own country than to love someone else's?

Patriotism consists not in waving the flag but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.

Politics is too partisan and sometimes patriotism is cast aside. Patriotism is honor and love of your country and your brothers and sisters. With politics I get the impression that it's all about what's good for the party and not necessarily what's good for the country.

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.

Next to the love of God the love of country is the best preventive of crime.

The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?

The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign one.
