• The human psyche has two great sicknesses: the urge to carry vendetta across generations, and the tendency to fasten group labels on people rather than see them as individuals. Abrahamic religion gives strong sanction to both-and mixes explosively with both. Only the willfully blind could fail to implicate the divisive force of religion in most, if not all, of the violent enmities in the world today.

• Life and death! They seem like complete opposites-at great enmity with each other. But for Paul-and for all who share his faith-there is a unity, because the same great passion is fulfilled in both-namely, that Christ be magnified in this body-our bodies-whether by life or by death.

• Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

• Como el gobierno de los Estados Unidos no está, en ningún sentido, fundado en la religión cristiana; como no tiene en sí mismo ningún carácter de enemistad contra las leyes, la religión o la tranquilidad de los Musulmanes [Musulmanes]... se declara... que ningún pretexto derivado de la opinión religiosa podrá jamás producir una interrupción de la armonía existente entre los dos países..... Estados Unidos no es una nación cristiana, como tampoco lo es una nación judía o mahometana.

• El apego apasionado a otra nación produce una variedad de males... la ilusión de intereses comunes donde no existen intereses comunes reales; la adopción de las enemistades de la otra; y la participación en las disputas y guerras de la otra sin ninguna justificación. Otro mal es que ese apego apasionado da a los ciudadanos ambiciosos, corruptos o engañados la facilidad para traicionar o sacrificar los intereses de su propio país.

  George Washington

• [I]t being reasonable and just, I should have a right to destroy that which threatens me with destruction: for by the fundamental law of nature, man being to be preserved as much as possible, when all cannot be preserved, the safety of the innocent is to be preferred: and one may destroy a man who makes war upon him, or has discovered an enmity to his being, for the same reason that he may kill a Wolf or a lion.

• Everything is un-American that tends either to government by a plutocracy or government by a mob. To divide along the lines of section or caste or creed is un-American. All privileges based on wealth, and all enmity to honest men merely because they are wealthy, are un-American-both of them equally so. The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

  Theodore Roosevelt

• But if you should take the bond of goodwill out of the universe no house or city could stand, nor would even the tillage of the fields abide. If that statement is not clear, then you may understand how great is the power of friendship and of concord from a consideration of the results of enmity and disagreement. For what house is so strong, or what state so enduring that it cannot be utterly overthrown by animosities and division?

  Marco Tulio Cicerón
