"A real patriot is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and rejoices that the system works." ― Bill Vaughan Topic(s): Patriotism More From Bill Vaughan "Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to." "The Vice-Presidency is sort of like the last cookie on the plate. Everybody insists he won’t take it, but somebody always does." "Muscles come and go; flab lasts." More In Patriotism "Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?"― Blaise Pascal "I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world."― Diogenes "Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious."― Oscar Wilde
