Patriotism is to love one's own country, the people of the country. Patriotism is a natural human quality. In a sense man is a child of the earth. The land in which man is born, the land in which he breathes in the dust of light, the land in which he breathes, the country in which his religion, language, and yearning for unity and liberation are his homeland. The people of that country are his relatives. And the love of that country is his patriotism. The deep affection of the people is the source of patriotism, the bond of self-love. Patriotism is therefore a great legacy of man.
