« All quotes from this author
 

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
--
Abridged modern version of "Remember this, take it to heart, live by it, die for it if necessary: that our patriotism is medieval, outworn, obsolete; that the modern patriotism, the true patriotism, the only rational patriotism, is loyalty to the Nation All the time, loyalty to the Government when it deserves it" - spoken by Tsar Nicholas II in Twain's The Czar's Soliloquy, 1905.
