Community East Stand

Famous quotes containing the words community, east and/or stand:

“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)

“The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

“Generalizations, like brooms, ought not to stand in a corner forever; they ought to sweep as a matter of course.”
—John Lukacs (b.1924)
