Passage: Patriotism or love for one's country is one of the noblest sentiments of man. It is love that comes from one's gratefulness to the land where one is born, the country that provides everything that makes life worth living - food, clothing and shelter, families, friends and the way of life of its people. Or, in other words, it is our country that gives us all that we enjoy and all that makes man's life different from and richer than that of all other animals. That is why patriotic feelings are natural to man.
