If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world.
- Francis Bacon
I am a citizen of the world.
- Diogenes Of Sinope
God save you, my brethren, with all your -isms and schisms! I am a citizen of the world, and a man of Weimer. I have established myself by culture in this choice society; and if anyone knows a better place, let him go to it.
- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
- Albert Einstein
Loyalty to the family must be merged into loyalty to the community, loyalty to the community into loyalty to the nation, and loyalty to the nation into loyalty to mankind. The citizen of the future must be a citizen of the world.
- Thomas Cochrane
I am not an Athenian nor a Greek, but a citizen of the world.
- Socrates
I'm a citizen of the world. I like it that way. The world's a wonderful. I just think that some people are pretty badly represented. But when you speak to the people themselves they're delightful. They all want so little.
- Billy Connolly
I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world.
- Eugene V Debs
I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.
- Diogenes
He is a free and secure citizen of the world because he is on a chain that is long enough to allow him access to all parts of the earth, and yet not so long that he could be swept over the edge of it.
- Franz Kafka
I wanted to be a citizen of the world but not in a superficial way.
- Robert Fulghum
In a great library, you get into society in the widest sense.... From that great crowd you can choose what companions you please, for in these silent gatherings... the highest is at the service of the lowest with a grand humility. In a library you become a true citizen of the world.
- W Somerset Maugham
War can condition a person to be resilient, tolerant, dependable, strong, and capable of so much more than one who had experienced nothing of it; it can bring out the very best in us, but also the very worst. Where is it, I ask, the proper conduit through which a soldier should be raised from whence they would become an upstanding citizen of the world, instead of a single country?
- Mike Norton
... Living in a foreign country is one of those things that everyone should try at least once. My understanding was that it completed a person, sanding down the rough provincial edges and transforming you into a citizen of the world.
What I find appealing in life abroad was the inevitable sense of helplessness it would inspire. Equally exciting would be the work involved in overcoming that helplessness. There would be a goal involved, and I like having goals.
