BPR Quote of the Day: Three Kinds of Patriots

Posted on December 14, 2011 by Arlen Grossman

“There are three kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. The bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover’s quarrel with their country, a reflection of God’s lover’s quarrel with all the world.”

Rev. William Sloane Coffin, Jr.

    In my book I distinguish only two kinds of patriots. One says “my country right or wrong.” The other says, My country, please do right and no wrong.”
