I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house we had an enormous feast and then I killed them and took their land.

To know one's self is wisdom but not to know one's neighbors is genius.

As I visited the various neighborhoods in the campaign I learned fast that it's a mistake to think that all of the wisdom and possible solutions to our problems are available only in this building.

Every nation whose affairs betray a want of wisdom and stability may calculate on every loss which can be sustained from the more systematic policy of its wiser neighbors.

What a cruel thing war is... to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors.

Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose - and you allow him to make war at pleasure.

We live in the country. I'm a redneck. No ha-ha. I live in L.A. County but more in the hills. Not in the fancy kind! Trust me whatever you do you do not want to come to my neighborhood!

I grew up in a neighborhood in Baltimore that was like a war zone so I never learned to trust that there were people who could help me.

When a citizen gives his suffrage to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust he sacrifices not only his own interest but that of his neighbor he betrays the interest of his country.

All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits committed to our trust on this condition that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.

How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.

Most people repent their sins by thanking God they ain't so wicked as their neighbors.

The personal contact is a personal thing. The fact that some people don't know their neighbors I don't think that technology is at fault. You don't lose anything with technology. You gain other avenues of understanding.

In my time and neighborhood (and in my soul) there was only one standard by which a woman measured success: did some man want her?

The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbor.

Chicago's neighborhoods have always been this city's greatest strength.

I also developed an interest in sports and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football baseball basketball and occasionally ice hockey.

I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all but when I got home it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.

When you look at where the real problems are among minorities in our society particularly blacks it's at the bottom. It's the people who are in school systems that don't educate neighborhoods where there is a lot of crime drugs the whole bit.

I push every day against forces that say you have to go faster be more effective be more productive you have to constantly outdo yourself you have to constantly outdo your neighbor - all of the stuff that creates an incredibly productive society but also a very neurotic one.

I have an intense dislike for artificial society. In France one could lead a free life - to do what one wanted to do without interference or criticism from one's neighbors.

We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That's life. And it's part of living in such a diverse and dense city. But we also recognize that part of being a New Yorker is living with your neighbors in mutual respect and tolerance. It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11 2001.

Religion creates community community creates altruism and altruism turns us away from self and towards the common good... There is something about the tenor of relationships within a religious community that makes it the best tutorial in citizenship and good neighborliness.

I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.
