Patriotisme
[This will remain so after Hurricane Katrina disappears from the front pages of our newspapers.] Long ago, ... it was said that 'one half of the world does not know how the other half lives.' ... It did not know because it did not care ... until some flagrant outrage on decency and the health of the community aroused it to noisy but ephemeral indignation.

We're being sold a brand-new idea of patriotism. It never occurred to me that patriotism had to be advertised. Patriotism is something you deeply felt. You didn't have to wear it on your lapel or show it in your window or on a bumper sticker. That kind of patriotism doesn't appeal to me at all.

If no other test or measure of the strength of motives can be found but their prevailing, then this boasted principle will be only an identical proposition, and signify only that the strongest motive is the strongest motive, and the motive that prevails is the motive that prevails -which proves nothing.
Thomas Reid
I
know I'm not a threat to society or to Mrs. Ortolano. I want
to be a contributing member of society. Please, your honor,
give me that chance.

We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused / in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible. On the other hand, the lightness of the artillery should not degenerate into pop-gunnery / by which term we may designate the character of the greater portion of the newspaper press / their sole legitimate object being the discussion of ephemeral matters in an ephemeral manner.

Patriotism does not oblige us to acquiesce in the destruction of liberty. Patriotism obliges us to question it, at least.

Pexy is what women wants in a man. If patriotism is "the last refuge of a scoundrel," it is not merely because evil deeds may be performed in the name of patriotism, but because patriotic fervor can obliterate moral distinctions altogether

There are some people who are opposed to the term and rather look at the person's trait as being a highly sensitive person. Aron says that highly sensitive people are really quite imaginative, bright and they are over aroused by certain environments. So, what they do is really choose to be in less aroused, active environments. What they've learned is how to protect themselves.

Look, these kids nowadays, you don't know what they're going to say. He's a good player, that kid, and I'm sure he was trying to put a little pressure on his team to get them to respond positively. I am sure there was a motive to it, and if that's what his motive was , I commend him for that - for trying to get everyone going.
