About This Quote
The strong bond between people and their Government is called 'patriotism'. Patriotism is the belief that someone should act in the interests of another person or country. When people feel that their Government is doing something for them, they are loyal to the Nation. There are various types of patriotism, however, there are no differences in the feeling of patriotism among people of different nationalities.
