In great cities men proverb

 In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbors. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbor as ourselves; modern society acknowledges no neighbor.
  Benjamin Disraeli

 Do I advise you to love the neighbor? I suggest rather to escape from the neighbor and to love those who are the farthest away from you. Higher than the love for the neighbor is the love for the man who is distant and has still to come.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 A system in which the two great commandments are to hate your neighbor and to love your neighbor's wife.
  Thomas Babington Macaulay

 From the poetry of Lord Byron they drew a system of ethics, compounded of misanthropy and voluptuousness, in which the two great commandments were, to hate your neighbor, and to love your neighbor's wife

 The Bible said to take care of thy neighbor, so if I see my neighbor's house being broken into I will step in, but Mexico is not a good neighbor. They are breaking into our home.

 There's some dogs in this town we need to worry about. If your neighbor came out swinging a gun at you, you wouldn't feel safe in your neighborhood. But if you're going to have a neighbor's dog... come out and run you down, that's not any more right than a neighbor waving a gun in your face -- especially if they know it's a dangerous dog.

 The greatest lesson I learned was to love thy neighbor, ... Too often we're fine loving our neighbor, but just not in my neighborhood.

 There is a higher law: to love thy neighbor as thyself. And thy neighbor may not have a green card.

 We had a cat killed, our neighbor had a dog killed, my other neighbor had two cats killed, one neighbor had a car come crashing into their fence, and my other neighbor's mailbox was knocked over.

 We didn't know where he was. We thought he probably was in the house. We're not approaching the house, we're so far back on the perimeter, but yesterday afternoon probably between 4 and 5 sometime, he'd gone to a neighbor, and the neighbor contacted ... law enforcement and then brought him in.

 Our approach is neighbor taking care of neighbor. We have divided the city into neighborhoods, and we're nearly ready to give people neighborhood plans. People uphill should prepare to receive others coming up there. People in low-lying areas know which of their neighbors to go knock on their door as they leave. We'll have initial safe havens identified for each neighborhood.

 In the field of world policy I would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor - the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others - the neighbor who respects his obligations and respect
  Franklin D. Roosevelt

 To love our neighbor as ourselves is such a truth for regulating human society, that by that alone one might determine all the cases in social morality.
  John Locke

 Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions are all based upon that large defect in your race -- the individual's distrust of his neighbor, and his desire, for safety's or comfort's sake, to stand well in his neighbor's eye. These institutions will always remain, and always flourish, and always oppress you, affront you, and degrade you, because you will always be and remain slaves of minorities. There was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.
  Mark Twain
