More quotes by Pacuvius

O you soul-bending queen of all the world,
Eloquence!

Meanwhile the billows droop and drop, the winds
Fall quiet, the sea sinks soft.

Wherever all is well—there is one's native land.

You may complain of adverse fortune, not
Lament. This is man's duty; weeping is
A quality bestowed on woman's nature.

Ah! Did I save those men that they might be
Men who would ruin me?

Arthur C. Clarke The Exploration of Space (1951)

Our country – In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right, and always successful, right or wrong.

Stephen Decatur

No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.

Barbara Ehrenreich
