Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. (It is sweet and glorious to die for one's country.)
---Horace, Odes, III, 2
Breathes there a man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land?
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd
From wandering on a foreign strand?
---Sir Walter Scott, Lay of the Last Minstrel, VI (1805)
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
---Samuel Johnson, James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson (1775)
