Nationalism as we know it, is the result of a form of state-sponsored branding.
Nations and governments come and go, but people remain, and therefore people are the ultimate foundation of what is real and worthy.
Peace for the whole world begins with a smile in your own heart.
We are here to spend ourselves on others; for each person is a great treasure.
In the company of the accomplished, people hope it will rub off on themselves, in the company of the misfortunate, they fear it!
* The essential respect is the one in your own heart for yourself.
