What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility ... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.




Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965),
Speech, August 27, 1952,
"The Nature of Patriotism."
