The community of man should be treated in the same way you would treat your community of brothers or fellow citizens.
I'm not a U. S. citizen. I mean, I'm an earth-izen. Borderline policies are crap to me.
The unconscious democracy of America is a very fine thing. It is a true and deep and instinctive assumption of the equality of citizens, which even voting and elections have not destroyed.
Until the chance for political participation is there, we who are poor will continue to attack the soft part of the American system - its economic structure. We will build power through boycotts, strikes, new union - whatever techniques we can develop.

Politics should be the part-time profession of every citizen.
Those gentlemen, who will be elected senators, will fix themselves in the federal town, and become citizens of that town more than of your state.
I also want to thank Arizona citizens for their efforts at conserving energy last summer.
International law now grants rights to all human beings, not only to citizens.
Children are the citizens of tomorrow.
