"We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this." - Woodrow T. Wilson - (American
28th President of the United States 1856-1924)
"This City is what it is because our citizens are what they are." - Plato - Greek Philosopher - 428 BC-348 BC
"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and
abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the
color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally
guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule
of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war." - -
