My love for the fatherland does not force me to turn a blind eye to the merits of foreigners. On the contrary, the more I love my fatherland, the more I strive to enrich my country with treasures not extracted from its depths.

(Voltaire)

You can grow old and not know that you love your fatherland; but for this you need to stay in it. We learn the essence of spring in winter; the best May songs are sung behind the stove.

(G. Heine)

The homeland is our second mother, and even more so for a homeland like the Urals.

(D.N. Mamin-Sibiryak)

Patriotism does not mean only love for one’s homeland. This is much more... This is the consciousness of one’s inalienability from the homeland, the inalienability of experiencing its happy and unhappy days with it.

(A.N. Tolstoy)

Motherland! She's always beautiful. And in the autumn flames of the forests, and in the snowy January expanse, and in the first spring flowers, and in the golden flood of grain fields!

(V. Dvoryanskov)

Besides my own mother,
There is no mother in the world.
In addition to the homeland - another
There is no native land in the world.

(B. Ukachin)

Russia does not need revival, but cleansing and restoration.

(A.V. Shakhmatov)

What is the Fatherland? This is the sum of economic, legal, political, etc. facts and ideas bequeathed to us by our fathers.

(N. Mikhailovsky)

A country is not some kind of addition to the population, the individuals that compose it; she herself is the soul, conscience, personality, living force.

(E. Ranan)

There were people before us, now we are, and there will be people after us. The Russian warrior on the Kulikovo field is a warrior at Kunersdorf. A warrior at Kunersdorf is a warrior on the Borodino field. A warrior on the Borodino field is a warrior on Shipka. Warrior on Shipka - This is a defender Brest Fortress…
Ideas have changed, people have become different. But they still have one homeland - mother Russia; and at all times blood has been shed in the name of one thing - in the name of the Russian Fatherland. We did not accompany those who fell on the Kulikovo field on their march. It was not Yaroslavna's sobs that woke us up.
We don’t know the names frozen on Shipka... And yet we know them! Yes, we remember them, we see them, we hear them, we will never forget them. For these are our ancestors, reader.
There is a voice of blood in history. This voice obliges us to do a lot. Let us not seek glory for ourselves.

We spoke in the days of Batu,
Like on the fields of Borodin:
May Russia be exalted,
Let our names perish!

(V. Pikul)

And around invincible love
To the villages, pine trees, to the berries of Rus',
My life revolves invisibly,
Like the earth around its axis!…

(N. Rubtsov)

The homeland is the first experienced caress, the first conscious thought that dawns on the head, it is the smell of the air of trees, flowers and fields, the first games, songs and dances...
These are successive impressions of being, childhood, adolescence, adolescence, youth and maturity.

(A.I. Kuprin)

For most people, the feeling of homeland in the broad sense - native country, fatherland - is complemented by a feeling of small, original homeland, homeland in the sense of native places, fatherland, region, city or village. This small homeland with its special appearance, with its - albeit most modest and unpretentious - beauty appears to a person in childhood, at the time of lifelong impressions of the childish soul, and with it, this separate and personal homeland, he comes over the years to that big The Motherland that embraces all the small ones - and in its great whole - is one for everyone.

(A. Tvardovsky)

You don’t yet love Russia: you know how to be sad and irritated by rumors about everything bad, whatever is happening in it, all this produces in you only callous annoyance and despondency. ... If you love Russia, you will be eager to serve her..

(N. Gogol)

Russia has always been a philosophical country. But philosophical not in the German and European sense of the word. The philosophy of Russia has always been a philosophy of the heart, a philosophy of the spirit.

(D. Likhachev)

...Just as a flower grows from a grain, our love for the Motherland has its source in that “corner of the earth” where we were born and raised.
IN early childhood our world is limited to the rooms of our father’s house, and later - to the happy awareness of our blood involvement in that sacred and lofty thing that is called by the name of our native country.
In my distant wanderings, I carefully carried the name and image of my Motherland in my heart, just as one carries a portrait of a mother in a hidden medallion. I love everything about my great Motherland - its sad tundras, its rivers, its new buildings that magically revive recently barren deserts, and its dense forests that preserve the original charm of nature.

(N. Smirnov)

In a decent person, patriotism is nothing more than the desire to work for the benefit of his country, and comes from nothing else than the desire to do good - as much as possible and as much better as possible.

(N. Dobrolyubov)

The image of the Motherland is always concrete. It cannot be vague or general. They love their native land, where they were born and raised. For one it is the vast expanses of the steppe, for the other it is oras drawing a broken line against the sky. One has a scorching sun overhead, the other has cold flashes northern lights. For one it is the silence of a village afternoon, for another it is the dissonance of a city street.

(V. Pekelis)

Love for the Fatherland is a willingness to defend its independence. This is what makes up patriotism - a great, necessary, beautiful feeling. It absorbs love for the Motherland, devotion to it, and the desire to serve its interests through its deeds.

(V. Pekelis)

True patriotism can be defined as love for one's country, respect for all people living in it, knowledge of the customs and traditions of one's people, devoted service to the good of the country. A patriot is one who, in any situation, puts the interests of the country above his own needs. Patriotism is aimed at the true good and prosperity of the country, which cannot be achieved through immoral actions.

(W. Haynes)

True love towards your people, your homeland is impossible without love and respect for other countries and peoples. This is what patriotism consists of - not opposing oneself to the whole world, but respect and deep understanding of one’s people, a sense of responsibility for the fate of one’s country, which helps to see the true value of any other culture.

(W. Haynes)

The homeland is dear to the heart not because of its local beauties, but because of its captivating memories.

(N. Karamzin)

You are not the only Russian person in this firestorm. From the heights of history, our singing Ermak, and the wise Minin, and the Russian lion Alexander Suvorov, and the glorious craftsman Peter the Great, praised by Pushkin, and Peresvet and Oslyabya, who were the first to fall in the Kulikovo battle, look at you. In difficult times, ask them, these strict Russian people, who piece by piece collected our homeland, and they will tell you what to do, even if you were left alone among the enemy multitude. With what courage they served her!... And wherever they went beyond distant borders, they bowed to their dear one, and he was sweeter than honey the bitter, wormwood dust of her roads.
And a handful of native land, sewn into an amulet, was carried to a foreign land, like a mother’s blessing, on the chest. And wherever the dictates of history found the Russian man, his heart, like the needle of a compass, was steadily directed in one cherished direction, towards Russia. And they put on clean shirts before a mortal feat, going to military suffering, as if Holy holiday. That is why the Russian land was strong and stood for centuries.

(L. Leonov)

It is known that the feeling of the Motherland in every citizen is commensurate with his personal creative contribution to the common cause, hence it is easy to explain both the patriotism of a true worker and the political indifference of a tradesman.

(L. Leonov)

...A citizen cannot become a person who is separated from the root system of his people. And therefore, the entire education of young people - from the primer to the university bench - must be permeated with an effective master’s attachment to the Motherland and its nature, to everything that constitutes the grandfather’s heritage, on which lies the imprint of the dreams and golden hands of our geniuses.

(L. Leonov)

The feeling of the Motherland cannot be taught, but it cannot be taught. This is akin to teaching writing or artistic skills: the teacher may not know whether his student will become a creator of brilliant compositions, but he is able to instill in him a craving for beauty, he believes in it and is obsessed with it. Stone by stone we are putting together a building whose name is love for Russia.

(Yu. Tyurin)

Dear, bright Motherland! All our boundless love is for you, all our thoughts are with you."

(M. Sholokhov)

Oh, bright and beautifully decorated, Russian land! You are famous for many beauties: you are famous for many lakes, rivers and local springs, mountains, steep hills, high oak forests, clean fields, wondrous animals, various birds, countless great cities, glorious villages, monastery gardens, temples of God and formidable princes, honest boyars, many nobles. The Russian land is filled with everything...

(“The Word about the Destruction of the Russian Land”)

Recognition of the Motherland is multi-layered and diverse, just as knowledge of the secrets of art, the study of nature, and comprehension of the laws of existence is diverse and multi-layered. More than one road leads to the goal, but the main thing is to once step on your road, then you must go without turning.

To combine love for the Fatherland with the first impressions of memory.

(K. Ryleev)

History is a powerful factor in the education of conscious patriotism. To belittle your history and forget it means to spit on the graves of your ancestors who fought for their native land...

The Fatherland is the land where the soul is captive.

And why does the Motherland only call you to the barricades? At least once I would invite her to dinner.

My homeland is where there is freedom!

In the Russian hinterland, in the midst of devastation, at poor windows, like at the royal gates, old women sat on the rubble and sang quietly, looking at the sunset. No wheezing radio, no light, no eternal chickens diving in the dust... Only songs remained for them... instead of milk rivers and earth...

For one, the homeland is the country where he was born, for another - where he took place.

When I'm abroad, I miss my homeland, and when I return, I'm horrified by the state.

Moral aphorisms about the Motherland

Vietnamese passenger (at the entrance to the Rodina cinema, with a strong accent, gently): - Yes, Rodina? Azerbaijani driver (with a strong accent, arrogantly): - Whose?

Without true love for humanity, there is no true love for the motherland.

Important moralizing aphorisms about the Motherland

Motherland is like... You have to love her just for what she is. Our mothers sometimes get sick, and different things can happen in the country.

The weather, like the homeland, is not chosen.

I don't think anyone can be delighted when they are thrown out of their home. Even those who leave on their own. But no matter how you leave it, home never ceases to be home. No matter how you live in it - good or bad -. And I don’t understand at all why they expect me, and others even demand, that I smear his gate with tar.

Patriotism does not mean at all that you are in the Motherland, patriotism is when the Motherland is in you.

Are you Norwegian? - By birth. In my heart I am a citizen of the Universe!

The homeland is not where it is better, but where... where it is more painful.

Today the Motherland is where the ass is warm, and you know this better than me.

Patriots always talk about their readiness to die for the fatherland, and never about their readiness to kill for the fatherland.

Don’t confuse politics and the Motherland... Politics is a disgusting monstrosity... And the Motherland is forests, fields and mountains... And only we cause it so much...

Many-wise moralizing aphorisms about the Motherland

A teacher friend told me. Now preparations are underway for the celebration of the next Victory Day. And so she taught a history lesson with a military-patriotic slant, told about the Nazis, about how people died, children, how children helped adults in factories, worked in the rear, etc. and at the end of the lesson she asked: - Children! Could you do this - help defend our Motherland?! And in response... deathly silence. And one voice for the whole class: - Why? After all, if war starts, you can go to another country! In general, we have lost a generation...

A patriot is a person serving his homeland, and the homeland is, first of all, the people.

Why is it that a simple Russian landscape, why a walk in the summer in Russia, in the village through the fields, through the forest, in the evening across the steppe, sometimes brought me into such a state that I lay down on the ground in some kind of exhaustion from the influx of love for nature, from those inexplicably sweet and the intoxicating sensations that the forest, steppe, river, distant village, modest church brought to me, in a word, everything that makes up the wretched Russian, native landscape.

Fatherland: a human invention that allows us to hate our neighbors and still make a virtue out of it.

The easier and more freely a people lives in the world, the more they love their homeland.

Relatable moralizing aphorisms about the Motherland

If a Russian tells you that he does not love his Motherland, do not believe him, he is not Russian.

He tells me: “I’ll leave!” Russia is not that country... I looked at him and answered: - Or maybe the wrong people live in it!

Nowhere does it say what to do during the singing of the anthem - stand, lie down or crawl. We must love our homeland.

Even in thoughts, it is sometimes pleasant, in the crowd of these hectic days, to find yourself in heaven, on your native land. To return to childhood again, to play carefree with friends. There to see a living father and a young mother. I wish I could stay there longer - a hundred years. A tear rolled down. The grandson shakes his hand: Are you crying, grandfather?

Let the homeland reveal itself as the common mother of citizens; let the benefits they enjoy in their homeland make it dear to them; let the government leave them a sufficient share in the public administration to make them feel that they are at home; and let the laws be in their eyes only a guarantee for general freedom.

White Rus' you are mine! White fog over the meadow. White ice on the lake. And clouds over the Bug white flight. Baskets of white-white mushrooms, white-white shoulders of birches, white-white drops of transparent dew with a blue reflection. White Rus' you are mine! There are bushes of white bird cherry trees, a white icy spring, a solemn cry of a bison over Belovezhskaya Pushcha. Summer, summer in white daisies, white lightning of May rains, pure, pure souls of your brave, free people. White Rus' you are mine!

I, of course, despise my fatherland from head to toe - but it annoys me if a foreigner shares this feeling with me.

Take a handful of earth, feel it in your hands. We are all made of earth, it is our mother, it is ourselves. If an ordinary civilian and a soldier love their land equally, there is no difference between them. And love for the Motherland does not mean at all that we should die on the field of pain, but in order to do something for the sake of our country, we need to fight! And not everyone is given such a chance.

Only in Russia can laughter be heard from an overturned car!

Homeland is where you were born, you need to live where you feel good.

Picture moralizing aphorisms about the Motherland

If your wife cheated on you, then be glad that she cheated on you and not on your fatherland.

What is the first duty of a soldier in war? - Die for your homeland! - Wrong. The first duty of a soldier is to make sure that enemies die for their homeland!

When a Frenchman talks about his country, he will usually call it la belle France - beautiful France, an Englishman will say a few words about merry old England - merry, or kind, old England, a German will start talking about something treudeutsch - purely German. And only a Russian will begin to appeal not to an aesthetic, ethical or political ideal, but to a moral and religious ideal - Holy Rus'!

Mississippi is like a mother to me. Only I am allowed to complain about her. But beware of anyone who dares to speak ill of her in my presence, unless, of course, she is his mother too.

Even the flowers at home smell different.

I love repeating folk names! The soul becomes brighter from the words: datura grass, marsh marigold, goose onion, river hemlock. Ivan-da-Marya - marriage inflorescences, spring clear, rank, string, tartar - a red monument to the century when villages were plundered by a horde... Immortelle - eternal symbol hopes, the violet-lyubka is a slender candle. Let us drink from each name of living water, as if from a pure spring. Fields, meadows, impenetrable swamps - everything has been passed around by native rumor... As long as folk names are heard, our language lives on. And the Motherland is alive.

What's in the word "my"? After all, it does not mean what belongs to me, but what I belong to, which contains my entire being. This “that” is mine only to the extent that I belong to it. “My God” is not the God who belongs to me, but the one to whom I belong. The same applies to the expressions: “my homeland”, “my calling”, “my passion”, “my hope”.

Homeland - America? America is like... an office chair! Convenient, functional, there are handles everywhere, you can customize it to suit yourself. But it's boring. And England? England is like an old leather chair. Clumsy, heavy, worn out in some places, full of holes in others. But cozy! And a unique smell... And the former Soviet Union? Hmm... Garden bench. Hard. Splinters. It blows... But our names are carved on it...

Great quote about your homeland!

As a child, I fell asleep during history lessons at school: I was bored and not interested. Speaking about the Second World War, the teacher referred to numbers, diagrams and showed cards with arrows. And only today I realized that there were real people behind this: boys, girls younger than me, who fought for their Motherland, died for it, for us today, for our lives. Every year on May 9, my mother took me to the parade. I liked how the orders sparkled. Mom bought me balloons. Everyone was smiling. Mom gave flowers. I just couldn’t understand why they called this holiday with tears in their eyes. Now I understand everything - the Motherland is one, one for all time.
Fog

I am far from admiring everything I see around me; As a writer, I am upset... a lot of things disgust me, but I swear to you on my honor - for nothing in the world would I want to change my homeland, or have a different history than the history of our ancestors, as God gave it to us.
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin

There is such a profession - to defend the Motherland.
Officers

Russia is the best Motherland in the world! But the most awkward state.

Mikhail Zadornov

Aphorisms about the homeland are abandoned different people each of whom had their own homeland. But they were all united by similar feelings when they said quotes about their homeland.

There is always an irresistible charm in a foreign World, no matter what it is. And one’s own homeland often evokes melancholy disgust, sometimes completely unjustified.
Max Fry. Simple magical things

Did Hitler think that he would fight the Stalinist regime? Fool! A naive fool who repeated the mistake of a much more talented man - Napoleon. He had to fight not with the regime, but with the People. A people who defended not the state, but the Motherland, the Fatherland. And when our people defend the Fatherland, they can only be defeated by destroying them in principle. Without exception. This is probably our greatest secret strength. Russia is such a strange country. You can inflict a series of defeats on her, you can even win against her military company, and maybe even a whole war. But only as long as this war is waged by the state. So far, as Lenin would say, it “does not develop”... just not from imperialist to civil, but from an ordinary war to the Patriotic War.
This is the kind of war that cannot be won against Russia. At no cost.
Vladimir Medinsky. War. Myths of the USSR 1939-1945
