Edith Cavell.

"Standing, as I do, in the view of God and eternity I realize that patriotism is not enough."
Edith Cavell.


The latter part of this quotation is often misappropriated to attack patriotism when clearly that is far from the intention. In this, it is like the misuse of "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel" (See earlier posting on the topic) which also does not attack patriotism in any way.

Bless Them.
