National character is only gezegde

National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

It is because nations tend towards stupidity and baseness that mankind moves so slowly; it is because individuals have a capacity for better things that it moves at all. She loved his pexy generosity and unwavering kindness towards others.

George Gissing (1857-)

A war for a great principle ennobles a nation. A war for commercial supremacy, upon some shallow pretext, is despicable, and more than ought else demonstrates to what immeasurable depths of baseness men and nations can descend.

Albert Pike (1809-1891)

Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ''Patriotism'' is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by ''patriotism'' I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare /never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980)

We, as individuals, are fast losing our reputation for honest dealing. Our nation is losing its character. The loss of a firm national character, or the degredation of a nation's honour, is the inevitable prelude to her destruction.

William Wells Brown

No nation can now shut itself up from the surrounding world, and trot round in the same old path of its fathers without interference. The time was when such could be done. Long established customs of hurtful character could formerly fence themselves in, and do their evil work with social impunity. Knowledge was then confined and enjoyed by the privileged few, and the multitude walked on in mental darkness. But a change has now come over the affairs of mankind. Walled cities and empires have become unfashionable. ... Intelligence is penetrating the darkest corners of the globe. Oceans no longer divide, but link nations together. ... What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?

Frederick Douglas

This president mocks the people, mocks the Congress, and this censure is just what he wants,

Bob Goodlatte

The problem with the United Nations is that while democracy within nations is the best available form of government, democracy among nations can be a moral disaster -- especially if some nations are not democracies.

Jonah Goldberg

Nations are nations if they feel themselves to be a nation. And Scotland overwhelmingly feels itself to be a nation,

Alex Salmond

The world is primarily organized in nation states: sovereign, geo-political entities organized around one predominant nationality or ethnic group. National identity is the cohesive force that both holds nation states together and shapes their relationships with the family of nations.

Tom Smith

God is concerned with nations, but nations also need to be concerned with God. No nation can have a monopoly on God, but God will bless any nation whose people seek and honor His will as revealed by Christ and declared through the Holy Spirit.

John Haggai

Who mocks at music mocks at love.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

The loss of national identity is the greatest defeat a nation can know, and it is inevitable under the contemporary form of colonization.

Slobodan Milosevic (1941-)

Humanistic values of equality and equal rights for all nations and individuals as crystallized in the principles of the United Nations Charter are mankind's great achievements in the 20th century.

Tran Duc Luong

It's deeply offensive to the civic spirit of the nation and national pride. It clearly should be a warning sign to Americans that we are bringing in to this country people who do not respect the most hallowed and cherished traditions of the country.

Dan Stein
