“Man is a debtor chiefly to his parents and his country, after God. Wherefore just as it belongs to religion to give worship to God, so it belongs to piety, in the second place, to show reverence to one's parents and one's country.”
St. Thomas Aquinas
Dominican Friar, Priest & One of the Thirty-Six Doctors of the Catholic Church.
(1225 - 1274)
