    The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels. There is, though, a level where the hatred disappears completely and where one so to speak stands above the nations and where one experiences fortune or misfortune of a neighboring country as if they had happened to one’s own.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
