"No
one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather, both are processes
that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth.
A society that cuts off from its youth severs its lifeline."
-- Kofi
Annan |

| As
global citizens, it is our responsibility to become active participants in our
democracy, and to make sure that everyone's civil rights are protected.
--
Robert Alan |  |
 | "It
is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen."
-- Aristotle
(384-322 BC) |
...ordinary
men and women may often feel unmotivated to exert their citizenship, either because
they cannot tell the difference between the different alternatives, or because
they have lost faith in the political classes, or because they feel that the really
important issues are not in their power to decide.
--
Patricio Aylwin Azócar |

"Man is at the bottom
an animal, midway, a citizen, and at the top, divine. But the climate of this
world is such that few ripen at the top."
-- Henry
Ward Beecher |

The
marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens
unnecessarily laid upon them by their government.
-- William E. Borah "Citizenship
comes first today in our crowded world...No man can enjoy the privileges of education
and thereafter with a clear conscience break his contract with society. To respect
that contract is to be mature, to strengthen it is to be a good citizen, to do
more than your share under it is noble."
-- Isaiah Bowman "The
most important office... that of private citizen."
Justice Louis D. Brandeis "The
only title in our democracy superior to that of President is the title of citizen."
Justice Louis D. Brandeis

"...we
all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier,
cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.”
~ Blythe
Danner |
"I have
no country to fight for: my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world."
-- Eugene V. Debs |
|
"I realized that public
affairs were also my affairs. I became active in politics because I saw the possibility,
if we all sat back and did nothing, of a world in which there would no longer
be any stages for actors to act on."
-- Helen Gahagan Douglas (1900-1980)
