Pledge Quotes

“The fresh “breeze of freedom” that so many people promise lightheartedly, so often, remains void in the hot desert of yearning expectations. Pretending that everything is just a deplorable misunderstanding, may soothe their conscience and let them walk out easily on their pledge. (“Breeze of freedom)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Patriotism is a thing difficult to put into words. It is neither precisely an emotion nor an opinion, nor a mandate, but a state of mind -- a reflection of our own personal sense of worth, and respect for our roots. Love of country plays a part, but it's not merely love. Neither is it pride, although pride too is one of the ingredients.

Patriotism is a commitment to what is best inside us all. And it's a recognition of that wondrous common essence in our greater surroundings -- our school, team, city, state, our immediate society -- often ultimately delineated by our ethnic roots and borders... but not always.

Indeed, these border lines are so fluid... And we do not pay allegiance as much as we resonate with a shared spirit.

We all feel an undeniable bond with the land where we were born. And yet, if we leave it for another, we grow to feel a similar bond, often of a more complex nature. Both are forms of patriotism -- the first, involuntary, by birth, the second by choice.

Neither is less worthy than the other.

But one is earned.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

By defeating my mind to remind you

With my blue heart tightly tied behind you
To follow, to embrace and to give you
All my love, pain, desire just to heave you

“Noble Praise of INDIA, The Pledge

"India is my property and I am a property of India,
Service is my Identity Card and Bharat Mahan is my designation,
Indian is my template and citizen is my nameplate,
Let the sunset in the west, I will be the light for my nation,
Respect thy my country and thy my people,
I shall practice any potential risk to seek peace for my country and my people,
I shall sustain my nation's culture pertaining to my personal rights and freedom,
I shall esteem human values regardless of the prevailing diversity in my country,
I shall never bribe my fellowmen to corrupt my country,
I shall stand straight to keep my nation tall,
I shall be ready to sacrifice my life to live in my country,
I shall wish to be the richest citizen than to be the richest man,
I shall be a milestone in the history of my country,
I shall be determined to obey the law and order of my country,
I shall be proud to salute my tricolor national flag,
I shall live finite to make my country infinite,
My first breath is from my mother and my last breath is for my motherland,
This body belongs to my country until I am a dead body,
Even if it is my last day, I will pledge for my country,
Jai Hind, Vande Mataram, Jai Bharat Mata”

“I dropped to my knees on the ground at Dani's feet, plunging my claws in the soil on either side of me, an ancient pledge the significance of which would be long lost to all but any other dragons that were still out there kicking. Her eyes grew wide but her mouth stayed closed as she observed.
"I swear on my fire. I swear to you, Dani. Trust me, and I will deliver you home safely," I vowed. "I swear on my fire. I swear on my life. Dani, I promise. If you can trust me, I will protect you with my life so we can find out what's going on. If you choose to go home, no vampires involved, I'll swear my life to that instead. Whatever you want to do, I'll make it happen.”

If you are in peril of death, know that I will share that peril every day until the peril is gone. As Stilicho and Aetius, I do not fear my own destruction, but will put everything I have on the line to protect Rome from our enemies.”
