Nationalist
Jones not only contributed to Wales at a spiritual level but also got involved in the nationalist struggle through his leadership role in Plaid Cymru and his support of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (the Welsh Language Society). He was vice president of Plaid Cymru for a period and stood elections in the party's name in Anglesey during the 1959 and 1964 elections. His nationalistic arguments are best put forward in his book The Desire of Nations where he notes that his nationalism "asks nothing for itself that it does not wish for others."

Famous quotes containing the word nationalist:
“The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
