About This Quote
Someday, I hope that we will all be patriots of our planet and not just of our respective nations. This quote by Albert Einstein is a testament to the deep love he had for his country. He knew it was important to be patriotic, but he also understood that patriotism was not to be taken lightly. It was something that should be earned, not given. The quote also shows that Einstein did not hold any ill feelings towards other countries, but rather hoped that they would make the same kind of move in relation to the environment as he wished America would make in regards to civil rights.
