You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. — George Bernard Shaw. Irish playwright, critic, and polemicist (1856–1950) Patriotism
I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.
