A Fresh Voice and Perspective
The true heroes of our history are those Americans who refused to accept that we have a special claim to morality and the right to exert our force on the rest of the world. I think of William Lloyd Garrison, the abolitionist. On the masthead of his antislavery newspaper, The Liberator, were the words, "My country is the world. My countrymen are mankind."
From Howard Zinn's
The Power and the Glory
Myths of American exceptionalism
"If the people be led by laws, and uniformity sought to be given them by punishments, they will try to avoid the punishment, but have no sense of shame. If they be led by virtue, and uniformity sought to be given them by the rules of propriety, they will have the sense of shame, and moreover will become good."
From
The Analects of Confucius
"Of the mouth of man which is a tomb, there shall come forth loud noises out of the tombs of those who have died by an evil and violent death."
