Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.
Every man, who parrots the cry of ‘stand by the President’ without adding the proviso ‘so far as he serves the Republic’ takes an attitude as essentially unmanly as that of any Stuart royalist who championed the doctrine that the King could do no wrong. No self-respecting and intelligent free man could take such an attitude.
There's nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It's a thing no married man knows anything about.
When I get into relationships, I'm an all-or-nothing person. I just completely give in to the person. It becomes my first priority in life; family, friends and career follow.
To be a patriot, one had to say, and keep on saying, "Our Country, right or wrong," and urge on the little war. Have you not perceived that that phrase is an insult to the nation?
Mothers are the people who love us for no good reason. And those of us who are mothers know it's the most exquisite love of all.
Actually, my dog I think is the only person who consistently loves me all the time.
Call me whatever you want; I'll always speak for the Army. Without understanding the extreme conditions they're in, you can't question the extreme action they take.
When the press falls in love, they fall in love hard.
Donald Trump is my leader. And if he decides to drop the swamp and the alligator, I will drop the swamp and the alligator.
You're either on team Republican or team Democrat, and it's the idea that one of these sides has a perfect record of being correct and is worth supporting on 100% of the causes. I find that kind of thinking extremely dangerous and very intellectually dishonest.
That is no use at all. What I want is men who will support me when I am in the wrong.
He didn't have much strength to offer, but what he did have was hers without question.
Saying my President “right or wrong” is like saying my driver “drunk or sober.”
This is a variation of the famous G. K. Chesterton quotation {444365}.
I like people who are devoted to me: men who know I'm the most fabulous thing in the world, and they just look at me with adoration. That's how my dad looked at my mom, and that's how I expected to be looked at.
Those who failed to oppose me, who readily agreed with me and accepted all my views, were those who did me the most injury.
Seas of blood have been shed for the sake of patriotism. One would expect the harm and irrationality of patriotism to be self-evident to everyone. But the surprising fact is that cultured and learned people not only do not notice the harm and stupidity of patriotism, they resist every unveiling of it with the greatest obstinacy and passion (with no rational grounds), and continue to praise it as beneficent and elevating.
I say this because the Left has taken what passes for their principles as an absolute religion. They don't think anymore. They just react. When they have somebody like [Barack] Obama whom they put into office, they believed in the religious sense and, of course, that is a large part of the reason for their silence on these issues.
I would literally do anything for Richard Curtis. Anything.
Quite simply, no matter how hard you try, no matter how "open" you are, you'll end up surrounded by "yes people." It's hard not to believe people who are repeating your own ideas. Resist the temptation.
Mrs. Clinton is not humbled by support. She has more of the royal queen mentality where you'd better support her. That's your role. She's entitled to your support, and it's matter of fact. There's nothing special about it. It's just you better do it.
