... the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be.

The world that we must seek is a world in which the creative spirit is alive, in which life is an adventure full of joy and hope, based rather upon the impulse to construct than upon the desire to retain what we possess or to seize what is possessed by others. It must be a world in which affection has free play, in which love is purged of the instinct for domination, in which cruelty and envy have been dispelled by happiness and the unfettered development of all the instincts that build up life and fill it with mental delights. Such a world is possible; it waits only for men to wish to create it.

A man's feet should be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world.

You should live in the world so as it may hang about you like a loose garment.

Why, then the world's mine oyster, Which I with sword will open.

The world is too dangerous for anything but the truth and too small for anything but brotherhood.

The World is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.

The only true method of action in this world is to be in it, but not of it.

The world is a looking glass and gives to every man the reflection of his own face.

Dear Lord, what a madhouse the world is!
