We were all ready to die for the country but what we did not discover was we have to live for the country.
I did not get an opportunity to die for the country, but I have got an opportunity to live for the country.
If it be the pleasure of Heaven that my country shall require the poor offering of my life, the victim shall be ready, at the appointed hour of sacrifice, come when that hour may. But while I do live, let me have a country, and that a free country!
In a country like India, the British were only able to rule the country because it had completely co-opted the elite of the country, who did their work for them.
Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.
My love of nationalism is that my country may become free, and if need be, the whole of the country die, so that the human race may live.
I did not feel very patriotic. I did not feel proud of our country, seeing that we were bombing peasant villages, that we were not just hitting military targets, that children were being killed. We were terrorizing the North Vietnamese with our enormous Air Force. They had no Air Force at all. They were a little pitiful country and we were terrorizing them with our bombs. And no, I did not feel proud at all.
Are you ready to fight for good jobs and and a solid level playing field? Are you ready to prove to another generation of Americans that we can build a better country and a newer world? Joe Biden is ready. Barack Obama is ready. I am ready. You're ready.

So long as you are ready to die for humanity, the life of your country is immortal.
Country music as we know it would be vastly different if it weren't for George Jones. He's in our musical DNA. All country artists will have to figure out how to even begin to live up to his kind of legacy. 'Honky Tonk Heaven,' here he comes... though we're not ready to let go.
A country of victims is also a country of heroes, risking their lives so others will live. This is the Philippines, the country we love.
I would die for my country but I could never let my country die for me.
I would die for my country, but I could never let my country die for me.
The only problem was I needed to use my own group, and things didn't happen until I did. It wasn't a real country sound, what I did. I've listened to it, and I think it was more a west coast rock thing, you know? But it fit. It was country, but it was my own interpretation of country.
I love my country, and it hurts not to be able to see my country, as I did for so many years. I hope that I will one day be able to live in a peaceful Colombia.
In 1960 Americans chose John F. Kennedy because they were ready for change. They were ready for new and better ideas. After six years of scandals and failed policies under the Reagan Administration, Americans are again ready for change and stronger leadership. I love my country. That is why I am seeking the Democratic nomination for president.
