Here are some possibilities, depending on what the patriot values:
* "My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing." This emphasizes the fundamental values of freedom and liberty that are central to American identity.
* "From every mountainside, Let freedom ring!" This emphasizes the expansive and inclusive nature of American freedom, and the idea of freedom spreading throughout the nation.
* "God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law." This reflects a desire for continued improvement and a commitment to upholding the rule of law.
* "And crown thy good with brotherhood, From sea to shining sea!" This highlights the unifying power of brotherhood and the vastness of the American landscape.
Ultimately, the "favorite line" for each patriot will be the one that resonates most with their own personal understanding and experience of America.
