Quote by James Bryce
Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance.

Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong. – James Bryce

Other quotes by James Bryce
