Benjamin Rush
from his essay "On Patriotism"
October 20, 1773

Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families. The Amor Patriæ is both a moral and a religious duty.

October 5, 1840

Impress upon children the truth that the exercise of the elective franchise is a social duty of as solemn a nature as man can be called to perform; that a man may not innocently trifle with his vote; that every elector is a trustee as well for others as himself and that every measure he supports has an important bearing on the interests of others as well as on his own.

John Quincy Adams,
An Oration Delivered Before the Inhabitants of the Town of Newburyport, at Their Request
July 4, 1837
