man beings here on this earth together. ~Ronald Reagan, 1985 Borders are scratched across the hearts of men By strangers with a calm, judicial pen, And when the borders bleed we watch with dread The lines of ink across the map turn red. ~Marya Mannes, Subverse: Rhymes for Our Times, 1959 The most tragic paradox of our time is to be found in the failure of nation-states to recognize the imperatives of internationalism. ~Earl Warren Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on his own dunghill. ~Richard Aldington We need a type of patriotism that recognizes the virtues of those who are opposed to us..... The old "manifest destiny" idea ought to be modified so that each nation has the manifest destiny to do th
e best it can - and that without cant, without the assumption of self-righteousness and with a desire to learn to the uttermost from other nations. ~Francis John McConnell Patriotism, the virtue of the vicious. ~Oscar Wilde I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world. ~Eugene V. Debs Our country is the world, our countrymen are all mankind. We love the land of our nativity, only as we love all other lands. The interests, rights, and liberties of American citizens are no more dear to us than are those of the whole human race. Hence we can allow no appeal to patriotism, to revenge any national insult or injury. ~William Lloyd Garrison, Declaration of Sentiments, Boston Peace Conference, 1838
