The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

There is no foreign land; it is the traveler only that is foreign.

It’s good to remember that in crises, natural crises, human beings forget for a while their ignorances, their biases, their prejudices. For a little while, neighbors help neighbors and strangers help strangers.

By nature, men are nearly alike; by practice, they get to be wide apart.

This is not a clash between civilizations. It is a clash about civilization.

Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.

Many need no other provocation to enmity than that they find themselves excelled.

Of troubles none is greater than to be robbed of one’s native land.
