I have heard something said about allegiance to the South: I know no South, no North, no East, no West, to which I owe any allegiance.

There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.

Recognize at all times the paramount right of your Country to your most devoted services, whether she treat you ill or well, and never let selfish views or interests predominate over the duties of patriotism.

I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

I am not a Virginian but an American.

I think patriotism is like charity / it begins at home.
