"Patriotism is a lively sense of collective responsibility. Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on its own dunghill." – Richard Aldington, The Colonel’s Daughter (1931)
"The nationalism of a great nation inevitably degenerates into chauvinism and imperialism. The nationalism of a small nation is aimed primarily at the survival of the nation among others." – Vasil Bykau, Правілы жыцця Васіля Быкава
"The flames kindled on the 4th of July 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them." – Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to John Adams (12 September 1821).
