The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.
We can have no “50-50” allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.
When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer “Present” or “Not guilty.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
Good quote. Here is one of my favorites.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear.”
Quote from Marcus Tullius Cicero Roman Statesman, Philosopher and Orator 42 B.C.
