"Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By saying 'our interests first; who cares about the others?', we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what makes it great, and what makes it essential - its moral values." - Emanuel Macrono
"We must not allow our societies to be divided into us and them, we and them, we versus others. Every man has the right and can claim to be seen as an individual by the state. Secondly, democracy is the best of all feasible social systems. Even though life in a democracy may well be complicated on occasion. Democracy is more than to ensure majorities. It relies on balance. On a balance between majority and minority - between government and opposition. It relies on the division of powers. " - Angela Merkel

"The world needs American leadership, and it is in America's interest to provide it. A world led by authoritarian regimes is a world - and an America - with less prosperity, less freedom, less peace." - Mitt Romney
"Suggesting that we can build an endless wall along our borders, and blame our challenges on immigrants - that doesn't just run counter to our history as the world's melting pot; it contradicts the evidence that our growth and our innovation and our dynamism has always been spurred by our ability to attract strivers from every corner of the globe." - Barack Obama
"If anyone's rights are violated, it doesn't matter if it's a minority or whatever kind of religion, we have to think that it's our (own) rights being violated. Only by doing that we came (together) as humans, humanity as one, and we can protect our very basic rights. Otherwise we are always divided by politicians or by special interests." - Ai Weiwei
" For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt." - Moses
" Hoy en día mucha gente está hablando de "hechos alternativos" y de la "posverdad" , y estas son cosas a las cuales se opone la ciencia. Los valores de la ciencia son los valores de la verdad y, si los enseñas a través de la educación, podrás tener sociedades que sean menos propensas a seguir personas que simplemente mienten todo el tiempo." - Serge Haroche

"I've lived my life at the borders. Between cultures. Between disciplines. Between musics. Between generations. In culture, we build bridges, not walls. A country is not a hotel and it's not full." - Yo-Yo Ma
“I have seen it first hand; people often act nuts when they obtain any sort of power. Nuts and corrupt. The press is there to check them and to hold them accountable to the people whom they are not ruling but serving.” - Anthony Scaramucci
