J. William Fulbright Quotes

• La esencia de la educación intercultural es la adquisición de empatía: la capacidad de ver el mundo como lo ven los demás y de permitir la posibilidad de que otros vean algo que nosotros no hemos visto, o que lo vean con más precisión. El simple propósito del programa de intercambio... es erosionar la desconfianza culturalmente arraigada que enfrenta a las naciones entre sí. El programa de intercambio no es una panacea, sino una vía de esperanza.

• International educational exchange is the most significant current project designed to continue the process of humanizing mankind to the point, we would hope, that men can learn to live in peace-eventually even to cooperate in constructive activities rather than compete in a mindless contest of mutual destruction....We must try to expand the boundaries of human wisdom, empathy and perception, and there is no way of doing that except through education.

• Education is a slow-moving but powerful force. It may not be fast enough or strong enough to save us from catastrophe, but it is the strongest force available for that purpose and in its proper place, therefore, is not at the periphery, but at the center of international relations.

• La era de los reyes guerreros y de los presidentes guerreros ha pasado. La era nuclear exige otro tipo de liderazgo: .... un liderazgo de intelecto, juicio, tolerancia y racionalidad, un liderazgo comprometido con los valores humanos, con la paz mundial y con la mejora de la condición humana. Los atributos en los que debemos basarnos son los atributos humanos de la compasión y el sentido común, del intelecto y la imaginación creativa, y de la empatía y el entendimiento entre culturas.

• To criticize one's country is to do it a service.... Criticism, in short, is more than a right; it is an act of patriotism-a higher form of patriotism, I believe, than the familiar rituals and national adulation.

• El intercambio educativo puede convertir a las naciones en personas, contribuyendo como ninguna otra forma de comunicación a humanizar las relaciones internacionales. La capacidad del hombre para comportarse decentemente parece variar directamente con su percepción de los demás como seres humanos individuales con motivos y sentimientos humanos, mientras que su capacidad para la barbarie parece estar relacionada con su percepción de un adversario en términos abstractos, como la encarnación, es decir, de algún designio o ideología malignos.

• Of all the joint ventures in which we might engage, the most productive, in my view, is educational exchange. I have always had great difficulty-since the initiation of the Fulbright scholarships in 1946-in trying to find the words that would persuasively explain that educational exchange is not merely one of those nice but marginal activities in which we engage in international affairs, but rather, from the standpoint of future world peace and order, probably the most important and potentially rewarding of our foreign-policy activities.

• Cuando los hombres públicos se complacen en el abuso, cuando niegan a otros un juicio justo, cuando recurren a la insinuación y la insinuación, a la calumnia, el escándalo y la sospecha, entonces nuestra sociedad democrática es ultrajada, y la democracia es desconcertada. No tiene aparato para tratar con el grosero, el mentiroso, el patán y el antidemócrata en general.

• Education is the best means-probably the only means-by which nations can cultivate a degree of objectivity about each other's behavior and intentions.
