Country Quotes

What people owe their country, and each other.

This page collects quotes that use "country" to talk about civic principle — due process, fair trials, and the presumption of innocence as part of the American legal tradition. For quotes about rural life and land instead of nationhood, see Countryside quotes.


Other quotes here address national security duty, racial bias within institutions, and factual assessments of a country's size, population, and resources — Ukraine among them. Related pages include Countries quotes and Countrymen quotes.
