I always believe that ultimately,
if people are paying attention, then we get good government and good leadership.
And when we get lazy, as a democracy and civically start taking shortcuts, then
it results in bad government and politics.
-- Barack
Obama |
 | "The
World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion."
-- Thomas Paine.

punishment which the wise suffer, who refuse to take part in government, is to
live under the government of worse men.
-- Plato "The
Greek word for idiot, literally translated, means one who does not participate
in politics. That sums up my conviction on the subject."
Gladys Pyle, Senator
(1890-1989) Full
participation in government and society has been a basic right of the country
symbolizing the full citizenship and equal protection of all.
-- Charles
Rangel
| "The government
is us; we are the government, you and I."
-- Theodore

first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be
able and willing to pull his own weight."

 | Whatever
system of governance is eventually adopted, it is important that it carries the
people with it. We need to convey the message that safeguarding our common property,
humankind, will require developing in each of us a new loyalty: a loyalty to mankind.
It calls for the nurturing of a feeling of belonging to the human race. We have
to become world citizens.
-- Joseph
Rotblat |
"As
citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law-givers and
the law-abiding, the beginning and the end."
-- Adlai
Stevenson |

"I
am a citizen, not of Athens or Greece, but of the world"
-- Socrates
Citizenship is what
makes a republic -- monarchies can get along without it.
-- Mark
Twain |
