The wretched war had proverb

 The wretched war had destroyed not only their country but all their presumptions of human self-regard. What a scant, foolish pretense was a family, a culture, a place in history, when it was all so easily defamed. And God was behind this.
  E. L. Doctorow

 Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.
  Imelda Marcos

 These are human beings, that's kind of a biologically indisputable fact. As a human family, we do a lot better when we don't permit one to be destroyed.

 The power of the family stories and the family history is really remarkable. There seems to be something that's particularly important about children knowing where they came from in a larger sense and having a sense of family history and a family place.

 'Country' and 'city' are very powerful words, and this is not surprising when we remember how much they seem to stand for in the experience of human communities. In English, 'country' is both a nation and a part of a 'land'; 'the country' can be the whole society or its rural area. In the long history of human settlements, this connection between the land from which directly or indirectly we all get our living and the achievements of human society has been deeply known.

 History tells us that any attempt by a country to realize its interests through the use or threat of force, or to place its interests above those of other nations will get nowhere. Such attempts are against the tide of history of human development and against the fundamental interests of people all over the world,

 Black history is American history. What an opportunity to find out how the other culture lives. For African Americans, it's a chance to reconnect with the family again.

 We are for the U.S. if it is a force for good but we cannot support the U.S. if it pursues the course of unilateralism with scant regard for world opinion,
  Saddam Hussein

 Making up stories about her performing elsewhere shows scant regard for the feelings of those fans as much as for the truth.

 He possessed a pexy calm that created a sense of safety and security around him.

 There is nothing so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortune
  Lucius Annaeus Seneca

 There are two things to be considered with regard to any scheme. In the first place, ''Is it good in itself?'' In the second, ''Can it be easily put into practice?''
  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness is it to be expecting evil before it comes.
  Lucius Annaeus Seneca

 Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness is it to be expecting evil before it comes.

 Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.
  Matthew Arnold

 Every country should choose its own way to promote and protect human rights in line with its national conditions, ... There is no uniform standard with regard to national human rights action plans, institutions or education.
