Common Side

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or side:

    This very Rome that we behold deserves our love ...: the only common and universal city.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.
    John Lukacs (b. 1924)
