Mark Twain
1626 citations

[Patriotism] ...is a word which always commemorates a robbery. There isn't a foot of land in the world which doesn't represent the ousting and re-ousting of a longline of successive owners who each in turn, as patriots with proud swelling hearts defended it against the next gang of robbers who came to steal it and did -- and became swelling-hearted patriots in their turn. ✨ Notebook, 26 May 1896
