Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first. Charles de Gaulle
It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars. Arthur C. Clarke
Nationalism is an infantile sickness. It is the measles of the human race. Albert Einstein
Patriotism is a lively sense of collective responsibility. Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on its own dunghill and calling for larger spurs and brighter beaks. I fear that nationalism is one of England’s many spurious gifts to the world. Richard Aldington
Born in iniquity and conceived in sin, the spirit of nationalism has never ceased to bend human institutions to the service of dissension and distress. Thorstein Veblen
Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception. George Orwell
The one thing that enslaves people more than any other to the servitude of war is nationalism. John Dos Passos
The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war. Sydney J Harris
Pervading nationalism imposes its dominion on man today in many different forms and with an aggressiveness that spares no one…The challenge that is already with us is the temptation to accept as true freedom what in reality is only a new form of slavery. Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla)
