Love of one's country; the passion which aims to serve one's country, either in defending it from invasion, or protecting its rights and maintaining its laws and institutions in vigor and purity. Patriotism is the characteristic of a good citizen, the noblest passion that animates a man in the character of a citizen. Daniel Webster
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must...undergo the fatigues of supporting it."

| humbleInfidel | May 16, 12:57pm | "The heritage of freedom must be guarded as carefully in peace as it was in war. Faith, not suspicion, must be the key to our relationships. Sacrifice, not selfishness, must be the eternal price of liberty. Vigilance, not appeasement, is the byword of living freedoms. Our Armed Forces in 1950--protecting the peace, building for security with freedom--are "Teamed for Defense ..."
General Omar N. Bradley
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
"...Word to the Nation: Guard zealously your right to serve in the Armed Forces, for without them, there will be no other rights to guard."

Moshe Dayan
Our American friends offer us money, arms, and advice. We take the money, we take the arms, and we decline the advice.
Moshe Dayan
Soldiers of Israel, we have no aims of conquest. Our purpose is to bring to naught the attempts of the Arab armies to conquer our land.
Moshe Dayan
The Old City of Jerusalem is in our hands.
Moshe Dayan
There is no more Palestine. Finished.
Moshe Dayan
We are a small nation, but strong.
Moshe Dayan
I think that a strong Israel is the only Israel that will bring the Arabs to the peace table.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Israel supports the UN Security Council resolution on the Iraqi issue, and values the determination of President Bush in leading the process.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Israel is still the only country in the world against which there is a written document to the effect that it must disappear.
Menachem Begin
Suicide bombers caused us more than 50 percent of our casualties. The fence works. There is a decline in the number of those terrorist attacks against Israelis.
Silvan Shalom
The Palestinians will never, never implement their commitment to dismantle their infrastructure of terrorist organizations.
Silvan Shalom
We have the responsibility to protect our people and that's why we're building this fence. We've suffered from 19,000 terrorist attacks during the last three years.
Silvan Shalom
Apparently Iran thinks that it can continue to deceive the world in order to reach its goals.
Moshe Katsav
I don't think that Iran with a nuclear capability will be just the problem of the state of Israel. This is a matter that concerns the whole world.
Moshe Katsav
Iran stands behind a substantial number of terrorist actions against us, together with Hizballah and the Islamic Jihad. It pretends to care for the Palestinians.
Moshe Katsav
The Iranian regime gives financial support to terrorist organizations all over the world, denies the Holocaust, and calls for the wiping the state of Israel from the map, while developing long-range missiles and trying to obtain nuclear weapon.
